The Ace Is High Lyrics

City lights, reflect upon concrete

Rain drops keep falling to my feet

As I walk into the night

I pass, Something I recognized

A flash, right Before my eyes

Just out of the periphery of my sight

The air, is cold upon my skin

It bites, like a northern wind

Old faces blur my memory

I am a ghost of what I was

Left to wander into the jaws

Of a town without empathy

Look out across the streets tonight

The chips are down

The ace is High

Bastards on a naked throne

Diagnosis terminal

We don't practice what we preach

Deformities of the desperate

Dealing out, from the bottom deck

The ace is just out of reach

Look out across the streets tonight

The chips are down

The ace is High

Another child awakened to this earth

His odds determined here at birth

The crows, circle in the sky

All in, place your final bet

The chase is better then the catch

We fold , and all one day must die

Look out across the streets tonight

The chips are down

The ace is High
