Poker Game Of Pain Lyrics - Asking For Forever - Lex Zaleta

Swimming with the sharks; 

Long sleeves buttoned tight 

Hide the needle marks 

From the other players' sight. 

He sees the brass ring; 

He's gonna grab it. 

His luck's gonna swing; 

He'll kick the habit - 

Or at least he'll try. 

Old Mister KING HIGH. 

Old Mister KING HIGH. 

One man's loss is no man's gain 

In the poker game of pain. 

No two hands are ever the same 

In the poker game of pain. 

"I'll see your hurt and raise you mine!" 

Is the one unchanging line. 

"I'll see your hurt and raise you mine!" 

In the poker game of pain. 

Receding hairline 

And expanding waist, 

He lives to wine and dine 

Women of good taste. 

He thinks of his wife; 

Knows he shouldn't stray. 

He knows that the knife 

Can cut either way. 

Doesn't like making scenes - 

Old Mister TWO QUEENS. 

Old Mister TWO QUEENS. 

One man's loss is no man's gain 

In the poker game of pain. 

No two hands are ever the same 

In the poker game of pain. 

"I'll see your hurt and raise you mine!" 

Is the one unchanging line 

"I'll see your hurt and raise you mine!" 

In the poker game of pain. 

Dealing in death's game 

For too many years, 

He lives through the blame 

And lives through the tears. 

Could've stopped to rest awhile; 

He chose to drive on. 

Now his wife and child 

Are both dead and gone. 

Read 'em and weep: 

They died in his sleep - 

And the winner bows - 

Mister EMPTY HOUSE. 

We gamble every time we wake; 

Every day's a new risk to take. 

We gamble every time we sleep; 

Wake up to read 'em and weep. 

One man's loss is no man's gain 

In the poker game of pain. 

No two hands are ever the same 

In the poker game of pain. 

"I'll see your hurt and raise you mine!" 

Is the one unchanging line. 

"I'll see your hurt and raise you mine!" 

In the poker game of pain.
