Poker [album Version] Lyrics - Electric Light Orchestra

Away, the joker's closing in, 

Reform and they will win, 

The light is fading fast. 

I know, you know, they know, we all know, 

Everybody's gonna burn down. 

The girls come crawling on all fours, 

Banging on locked doors, 

High cards call the tune. 

I know, you know, they know, we all know, 

Everybody's gonna burn down. 

Play me another hand, 

Loose everything I am, 

Until we meet again. 

The ace, that's hiding up your sleeve, 

Will cause the world to grieve, 

The love you had is gone, 

I know you know, they know, we all know. 

The dream, in every player's heart, 

To win it all not part, 

They lie awake at night, 

I know, you know, they know, we all know. 

The game, where gamblers rule the night, 

And get your blood they might, 

The joker's closin' in, 

I know, you know, they know, we all know.
