Away, the jokers'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.
