Queen of Spades

Four walls and a clenched jaw
Got me begging for release
Shifting your weight to your lefthand side
So I can grip my teeth

For mercy

And I can hear the horns playing when they lay this body down
'Cause nothing ever really dies, it always comes back around
Like the syllables when you're saying my name
How I get choked up on "Amazing Grace"
My grandma's voice and the Queen of Spades
And the way that it was when you loved me

Heard your dad went back to using
When he fell down on Southside
It may not be fair, but it's what you're used to
At least you can say he tried

For mercy

And I can hear the horns playing when they lay this body down
'Cause nothing ever really dies, it always comes back around
Like the syllables when you're saying my name
How I get choked up on "Amazing Grace"
My grandma's voice and the Queen of Spades
Bathrooms stalls and wedding cakes
Blue ribbons and crystal balls when I finally return my mother's calls
Vodka sodas and all in all, it was the way it was when you loved me
