lyrics

Girl, the evidence is in so you drink a fifth of gin and assess yourself a sober judge. He's got all the things you lack, like a knife in your back and a heart of unconditional grudge. When he got you on his own and got you in a zone where he could paint you pretty scenes and you listened to his words, you slipped the bonds of earth and would scorn to change your state with queens. You would not be called a fool so you play it cool and pretend it's just a tryst but your head is in the sand; he offered you his hand but you didn't notice it was balled into a fist. POW! Right between the eyes! Girl, when you going to wise up & realize what betrayal means? The full house you thought would be enough was toppled by his bluff; he trumped your ace of hearts with a pair of queens. You were just one of his pair of queens. On the evidence that you presented, she judges you've repented. Cross your fingers, sly little beast. You're disoriented and as such you find that you're with what you most enjoy contented least. When you got her on her own and fed her an erroneous idea of what forever means, she thought you'd return her to the days before the great disgrace when she'd have scorned to change her state with queens.
