ace

she says she wants the little things

but little things are hard to find

little things are hard to come by

you've collected thugs down in your head

and lost them all deep in your bed

it seems you don't know how to deal

when counting cards felt oh so real

but the dealers got you screwed

he's given you an ace and you don't know what to do

should you take the risk or stay down low?

cause i'm the dealer

selling nickels and dimes

paying for your crimes

in liquor and limes

cause i'm the healer

supplying you meds

for your the voices in your head

kicking at your lungs till they turn red

walking on broken bones

doing time alone

you think your finally home

she says she wants the little things
but little things are hard to find
little things are hard to come by

so here in your bedroom you've been working real hard
contemplating what to do with that card
five seconds feels like a week
when you're not so sure if you're playing for keeps

but the dealers got you screwed
he's given you an ace and you don't know what to do
should you take the risk or stay down low

cause i'm the dealer
selling nickels and dimes
paying for your crimes
in liquor and limes

cause i'm the healer
supplying you meds
for your the voices in your head
kicking at your lungs till they turn red
walking on broken bones
doing time alone

you think your finally home

17's down on it's luck
and 18 they call your bluff
19 just doesn't have the stuff
and 20's almost close enough
but the dealers got you screwed
20's not an option time to win or lose

cause i'm the dealer
selling nickels and dimes
paying for your crimes
in liquor and limes

cause i'm the healer
supplying you meds
for your the voices in your head
kicking at your lungs till they turn red
walking on broken bones

doing time alone

you think your finally home
you think your finally home
