Kentala - "Deck of Cards"

Deck of Cards

One ace and one truth
Two ways to go
To question it or go with the flow
Three kinds of people in the world
Those in the backseat and those who drive
And those who get left behind

I went to the four corners of the world
I took the music that I heard
And before long, I got a song
Worked nine to five to make it rhyme

Six strings on my guitar
Six strings took me this far
I started playing when I was seven
I'll keep on playing them strings (in heaven)

On eighth of August I was born
When I was nine, I wrote a song
Ten to me is about perfection
It's my curse and my addiction

And my friends, they're my soldiers
My queen, she makes me sing
And in my deck, I am the king
You know

One deck of cards and one life
How am I to play them right
(How am I to play them right)
One deck of cards and one life
How am I to play them right
(How am I to play them right)

Once I got beat up, twice my heart
But always someone third took me to the start again
Four times I moved away
Maybe this time I will stay

Five times I've been told
To sell my soul if I want some gold
Six is the beast and seven is God
Eight is me, 'cause I wanna be free

Nine times out of ten
I'm getting up again
When life gets me down
And there's no one else around

All your jacks and all your queens
A royal flush of hopes and dreams
Let the dealer deal, and you just play
Well, I wouldn't have it any other way

One deck of cards and one life
How am I to play them right
(How to play them right)
One deck of cards and one life
How am I to play them right
(How am I to play them right)

One deck of cards and one life
How am I to play them right
(How to play them right)
One deck of cards and just one life
(How am I to play them right)

Oh, one deck of cards and one life
How am I to play them right
(How to play them right)
Yes, I've got one deck of cardѕ and one life
(How am I to plаy them right)
