Lyrics

I've got these thought trains inside my brain;
The brakeman's driving me insane;
The fireman is screaming, "pray for rain";
I'm like a hummingbird in a hurricane...and I don't know what to do.
I always feel so hollow no matter what I swallow
It seems like every road I follow just leads me right back to you.
Come on, Dealer. Put it in my hand.
One more Ace and I can leave this place where my confused life began.

My woman says I've got to advance;
I've got to stop leading this life of chance.
All day long she raves and rants.
Every time I come home without my pants
She thinks I've been untrue.
The fires are growing hotter
In the eyes of her irate father;
It seems like some folks never bother
And some that's all they do.
Come on, Dealer. Put it in my hand.
One more Ace and I can leave this place where my worried life began.

The King of Clubs thinks he's number one;
He shines his gun with a bottle of rum
It's a mouth full of fun every time he comes.
He's got a forty-pound pack of spearmint gum
But there's only so much I can chew.
Mother Nature's unhappy with the goods you sold her
But Lady Luck is foxy and so much bolder
So move over, Honey, 'cause your hight roller's
'Bout to roll all over you.
Come on, Dealer. Put it in my hand.
One more Ace and I can leave this place where my insane life began.

Landlord's knocking at my door.
He took my promise and now he wants more.
But both my arms and legs are sore
I'm lying' here moanin' on the kitchen floor
And I don't think I can move.
Police car's out in the yard..,
My friend, the lawyer's gonna be workin' hard.
The cavalry is about to charge
But all I need is ONE MORE CARD.
So come on, dealer. Put it in my hand.
One more Ace and I can leave this place where my broken life began.
