The cards of life have been dealt
Says the dealer looking smug
God or Devil either way
I was running out of luck.
No poker in my hands for me
The cards were all blurred out
Your life will be a mystery
You'll always be in doubt.
Sometimes I see the queen of hearts
She always brings me smiles
But as soon as all my hoping starts
She fades between my cards.  
The Joker's in my hand right now
He mocks me with his might
He's everything with something
Alone he's nothing right.
From two's to fives to tens
They all appear at times
Quickly rotating and driving me mad
The game fails to make sense.
The dealer asks to place your bets
I'm staring faint and cold
To all the things I see in life
In the cards that I still hold.
With a shake of the head
My cards drop on the table
Maybe stupid, maybe bold
It seemed the time to fold.
