The Hives - Black Jack lyrics
[The Hives - Black Jack lyrics]
Well, I lost my shirt in Vegas
Lost the woman I adored
I was just about to cash in my chips
When I heard the word of the Lord
He told me something i remember to this day
He said everyday's a brand new deck
You don't owe it anything
But with every roll of the daily dice
It's a whole new game of chance
And now I know just one thing for sure
Real life is one big gamble
It can cut you, like a knife
Hit me just once more, Jesus
With the black jack game of lies
The black back game of lies
Got a roulette wheel that keeps spinning
With stacks I can't control
Will I bring on the holy jackpot?
Will I win without my soul?
But now I know I got one thing on my side
There ain't no telling what you've done
What I'll be throwing at you
But I got Jesus on my side
And the glow in the dark statue
But now I tried enough
He says to me, he says
Real life is one big gamble
It can cut you, like a knife
Hit me once more, Jesus
With the black jack game of lies
The black back game-
Hit me!
Well, I lost my shirt in Vegas
Lost the woman I adored
I was just about to cash in my chips
When I heard the word of the Lord
He told me something i remember to this day
He said everyday's a brand new deck
You don't owe it anything
But with every roll of the daily dice
It's a whole new game of chance
And now I know just one thing for sure
Real life is one big gamble
It can cut you, like a knife
Hit me once more, Jesus
With the black jack game of lies
The black back game, of lies
Lost the woman I adored
I was just about to cash in my chips
When I heard the word of the Lord
He told me something i remember to this day
He said everyday's a brand new deck
You don't owe it anything
But with every roll of the daily dice
It's a whole new game of chance
And now I know just one thing for sure
Real life is one big gamble
It can cut you, like a knife
Hit me just once more, Jesus
With the black jack game of lies
The black back game of lies
Got a roulette wheel that keeps spinning
With stacks I can't control
Will I bring on the holy jackpot?
Will I win without my soul?
But now I know I got one thing on my side
There ain't no telling what you've done
What I'll be throwing at you
But I got Jesus on my side
And the glow in the dark statue
But now I tried enough
He says to me, he says
Real life is one big gamble
It can cut you, like a knife
Hit me once more, Jesus
With the black jack game of lies
The black back game-
Hit me!
Well, I lost my shirt in Vegas
Lost the woman I adored
I was just about to cash in my chips
When I heard the word of the Lord
He told me something i remember to this day
He said everyday's a brand new deck
You don't owe it anything
But with every roll of the daily dice
It's a whole new game of chance
And now I know just one thing for sure
Real life is one big gamble
It can cut you, like a knife
Hit me once more, Jesus
With the black jack game of lies
The black back game, of lies
