Lyrics
A darkened pool hall that's open to all
With a table set to the side
Nobody makes a sound, it's the next go round
Because we've already died
Paid the cost and we've all lost
Still we come here to play the game
To a man we're hoping for the hand
And not more of the same
Bridge:
Kings and Queens far out of reach
So I guess I'll keep the three
Hoping one day to make a pair
Instead of, instead of just me
Chorus:
So take another drink and draw another card
Every shuffle of the deck only costs your heart
Lost control of your mind and soul your whole body breaks
We're playing for high stakes
Turn and the river won't make you smile
Still sit here with us and keep playing for a while
The game don't change, just the names, we know the aches
We're playing for high stakes
The hand you're dealt comes straight from hell
We're all playing them the best we can
New cards may come but don't think that one
Is ever good enough to change your hand
Though the faces change we're all here the same
Every card stares at you alone
'Stead of wedding vows and a packed full house
We're going back to an empty home
Bridge:
Kings and Queens far out of reach
So I guess I'll keep the three
Hoping one day to make a pair
Instead of, instead of just me
Chorus:
So take another drink and draw another card
Every shuffle of the deck only costs your heart
Lost control of your mind and soul your whole body breaks
We're playing for high stakes
The turn and the river won't make you smile
Still sit here with us and keep playing for a while
The game don't change, just the names, we know the aches
We're playing for high stakes
So join us, play the game and be glad you came
Just don't ever ever play to win
'Cuz the world outside is blind to your cries
And in the end you're just a friend
Chorus:
So take another drink and draw another card
Every shuffle of the deck only costs your heart
Lost control of your mind and soul your whole body breaks
We're playing for high stakes
The turn and the river won't make you smile
Still sit here with us and keep playing for a while
The game don't change, just the names, we know the aches
We're playing for high stakes
