Cards

They were diving into turquoise pools

Skin turned brown, they were kissed by

The summer

We were ready to be no ones fool

We wanted life, We wanted each other

Look at their faces

Twisted in hatred

We’ve got to get away while we still can

Find a place where the cards aren’t

Stacked against us

They were ushered into secret rooms

A rendezvous where no one could listen

They were saying it was our turn soon

Sorry man I can’t wait for permission

Look at their faces

Twisted in hatred

We’ve got to get away while we still can

Find a place to make a stand

Find a place where the cards aren’t

Stacked against us

Don’t you know there’s plenty of love to

Go around

Why so many going without?

Don’t you know there’s plenty of love to

Go around

What do many going without..?

See them gather at the Shangri La

The wine is sweet, The trays overflowing

When the dealer says “No cigar”

It ain’t what you know, It’s who you’ve

Been knowing

Look at their faces

Twisted in hatred

We’ve got to get away while we still can

Find a place to make a stand

Find a place to rise again

Find a place where the cards aren’t

Stacked against us

Don’t you know there’s plenty of love to

Go around..
