lyrics

Face down you've got another one safe, secured.
En guarde, we've got our armor on
to brace for words.
An uphill battle that will leave us empty-handed.
Still, we roll the dice and take our
empty chances.

Wheel spin, you drop the ball,
call your number and shade.
The marring marble's got the weight
to invalidate all your plays.
The deck is stacked, your sleeves are checked
with steel precision.

The world's controlled by paper slips,
they used your chips to print them.

Can the dealer be played?
Try your best, but rank suggests that
every rule can be changed.
No room to run away,
game tables are chained to your legs
and hands are always seen.

All their things are made from your dreams.

Your legs and hands are always seen.
All their things are made from your dreams.
