Trash, garbage, useless words

A new voice, a new reason must be heard

Listen well, and think hard

For what you decide is the final card

Show your aces, hide your queens

The kings come to play, collect your things

A jack, a queen, the affair of the century

A new face, a card soaked in mercury

Rhythm, rhyme, and in between

A Y, an M, a new beginning

A horse, a cow, a sitting duck

A lie, a truth, a hidden luck

A must, a want, a need

A poker face I cannot read

Place your bets, tap your feet

A nervous twitch, your price we’ll meet

We show our cards, now you show yours

You bargained your soul, and now it’s ours

A bluff, a trick, a switch of hands

Poker with the Devil, a foolish plan
