lyrics

Hey, Mr. Cool Tuxedo,
yeah the way that you dig down deeper in the coals
with your hands so steady's getting old.
We've had enough already,
and the glow of your eyes unsettles
and the cold in your smile gets better
when you know that your hand is winning.
Why cheat when the cards are well hidden?

Yeah, yeah, you don't cheat.
It's still not fair
Woah, no, you better let me go.
I'm not a private show.

And I'll set this house on fire,
cause how's it fair that you're the only one with a lighter
but the smoke gets in my lungs?
And I can't forget,
the words you whispered
when everybody said that you had only kissed her.
You said, it's better said than done,
that I'm the lucky one.
I'm the lucky one.

Burn all the bridges, broken,
and turn, cause there's no use choking
on the words sugar sweet and cheep
like the girls (who look too good to eat)
And I'm gone, cause there's no use staying.
Write a song,
cause there's no use praying to the gods
who look down from above
and all along you swore it was for love.

Love, grow up. That's enough
Cause I tried, oh I tried.
Where to confide,
when your hands are tied?

And I'll set this house on fire,
cause how's it fair that you're the only one with a lighter
but the smoke gets in my lungs?
And I can't forget,
the words you whispered
when everybody said that you had only kissed her.
You said, it's better said than done,
that I'm the lucky one.
I'm the lucky one.

Woah, the dice are loaded.
You, you call it chance.
I ain't no sinner,
but I've seen the devil dance.
