Overkill lyrics : "Play The Ace"

Fair haired lady and the suicide king
Kill the brother of the one eyed jack
Two side of shady as the angels sing

That the jack ain’t coming back
Double down hide as the preacher folds
And you sweat right out of your clothes

Aces higher than the suicide king
With a pair right under his nose


Dead pan, poker face, where you lie
The angels sing the same
Hey man, choker taste where you die

Carving out your given name
Drive a spade right through your heart
Or a chance just being alive

Is it murder, right handed, art
Is it real or all contrived
God help you


All bets are taken, this table is closed
While outside they’re shaking him out of his clothes

It’s a disgrace

Get down on the dead

They been taking over the graveyards
You gotta play the ace
Get down on your head

It’s been overriding the good cards
Gotta play the ace


Green-eyed monster got the twinkle right
Got the evil in his eye
One sick as a dog looks a little tight

He can’t breathe, he gonna die
As you pound your fist in anger
Words sharper than a blade

But the green-eyed monster is a sure mother$#&@er
As he plays I tout in spades
God help him


All bets are taken, this table is closed
While outside they’re shaking him out of his clothes

It’s a mistake

Blame it on the dead

They been taking over the graveyards
Play the ace
Blame it on your head

It’s been overriding the good card
Play the ace


See it, raise it, call it, show
In a sinner’s room of liars
In the all time hell bound race

And the devil, he’s on fire
As the band played on the ace
The ace


See it, raise it, call it, show
The dead sit lifeless in the chair they chose

It’s a national disgrace
The green-eyed monster got a real bad dose
As the band played on the ace

Play the ace
Play the ace
Play the ace

Play the ace
Play the ace
