Solitaire

[Verse 1]

Black on the red and the red on the black

It's a tic of a tired mind

Come and sit down, won't you try your luck

And see if you unwind?

Never use your threes and twos

Follow superstition

Otherwise you are going to lose

Compulsion makes you listen

[Chorus]

Take what's wrong and make it go right

You can weave it like a prayer

Wonder if you'll spend the night

Playing solitaire

[Verse 2]

Just do it again, when you find you're all done

Like an idiot savant

Shuffle up your luck, you see, you almost won

Now wrestle down what you want

Jack on the Queen, and the ten on the Jack

It's a happy repetition

You and your fate in a kind of checkmate

You're your only competition

[Chorus]

Take what's wrong and make it go right

You can weave it like a prayer

Are you going to spend the night

Playing solitaire?

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]

Take what's wrong and make it go right

You can weave it like a prayer

Are you going to spend the night

Playing solitaire?

[Outro]
