Poker

[Verse 1: Jeff Lynne & Kelly Groucutt]

Away, the joker's closing in

Reform and they will win

The light is fading fast

I know, you know, they know, we all know

Everybody's gonna burn down

[Verse 2: Jeff Lynne & Kelly Groucutt]

The girls come crawling on all fours

Banging on locked doors

High cards call the tune

I know, you know, they know, we all know

Everybody's gonna burn down

[Bridge: Jeff Lynne & Kelly Groucutt]

Play me another hand

Lose everything I am

Until we meet again

[Verse 3: Jeff Lynne & Kelly Groucutt]

The ace that's hiding up your sleeve

Will cause the world to grieve

The love you had is gone

I know you know, they know, we all know

[Verse 4: Jeff Lynne & Kelly Groucutt]

The dream in every player's heart

To win it all, not part

They lie awake at night

I know, you know, they know, we all know

[Verse 5: Jeff Lynne & Kelly Groucutt]

The game where gamblers rule the night

And get your blood they might

The joker's closin' in

I know, you know, they know, we all know
