Black Jack

Verse 1
Bankrupt bleeding with a hallow twist
You owe a loan shark, Shady, for your new “success”
You got a black Mercedes with a window tint
I see your luck is turning on the rigged roulette

Verse 2
Your private games, your private eyes
Thank god for blackjack, crapshoots, kickbacks
You’ve got a knack, with “taste and tact”
Beware of flashbacks, paramedics, face-cracks
Red-handed in the till

CHORUS
Crossfire! It’s War!
It’s overkill
About-face: skip the deal
Gambling without substance
Total incoherence
Asking for deliverance we pray . .
Please let us get out now
Please let us leave this town
Take our dollars and lives
Please let us get out now
Please let us stop and GO
Throw us tumbling like dice
Snake eyes?
Blackjack?
Try to shoot us in the night . . . flight . .
Off the track

Verse 3
Chances taken bring a twisted fate
The four-leaf clover, Greenie, wasn’t on your plate
You’ve got a joker laughing from a slighted deck
Can’t see the ace is burning from the black of it

Verse 4
The hit and run, it severed ties
Just recall Ace is high, Deuce is low
Grab that diamond in the sky with sleight of hand
Beware of flesh-freaks, twin peaks
Jumping Jack over candlesticks

Interlude:
Yes I am a wildcard; I am a joker
(ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
And some call me The Black-Jacker
Uh-huh-huh huh
Yes I am a wildcard; I am a joker
(heh heh heh heh)
And some call me The Black-Jacker
Uh-huh-huh huh
Call me the Black Jacker
(ah ha ha ha….ha?)

CHORUS
Crossfire! It’s War!
It’s overkill
About-face: skip the deal
Gambling without substance
Total incoherence
Asking for deliverance we pray . .
Please let us get out now
Please let us leave this town
Take our dollars and lives
Please let us get out now
Please let us stop and GO
Throw us tumbling like dice
Snake eyes?
Blackjack?
Try to shoot us in the night . . . flight . .
Off the track
