Sleight of Hand

[Verse 1]
I used to be a gambling man, but I chucked it in
The weird thing was that I could never win
I studied the system to a fault, thought I had had it made
Naive to the tricks of the table and the tricks of the trade

[Chorus]
And once you see the sleight of hand
It’s never the same
And once you see the cards are marked, you know
It’s all in the game

[Verse 2]
[?] evens
Blacks were reds, and reds became blues
Jacks were Queens, Queens were Kings, Kings were Jokers
Twos were aces, and aces were twos
And if you fold right, rolled right, ran right, nothing would come my way
You gotta realize that you can never win
And that’s the only rule of the game

[Chorus]
And once you see the sleight of hand
It’s never the same
And once you see the cards are marked, you know
It’s all in the game
And once you see the sleight of hand
It’s never the same
And once you see the cards are marked, you know
It’s all in the game

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
And once you see the sleight of hand
It’s never the same
And once you see the cards are marked, you know
It’s all in the game
And once you see the sleight of hand
It’s never the same
And once you see the cards are marked, you know
It’s all in the game
