Dealer The (song lyric)

Come on then Dealer, do what you’re paid to do,
shuffle and deal from the top of the deck and give me the cards I’m due.
Come on now Dealer, let’s get on with the game,
win or lose I’m ready for joy or pain.

I hope to start with a hand full of kings and queens
That will help me fulfill my wildest dreams,
cards that’ll make the water taste like wine.
A hand that’ll make it worth the risk
to gamble my spirit on a young girl’s kiss.
That’ll sing to me and bring me words to rhyme.

Come on then Dealer, do what you’re paid to do,
shuffle and deal from the top of the deck and give me the cards I’m due.
Come on now Dealer, let’s get on with the game,
win or lose I’ll take the winning and the shame.

I want a hand that’s unique to me,
but I could still use some cards from history;
I’d like the hand you dealt Leonardo, if you could.
Or the cards you gave to Jesus Christ,
He had a good hand but couldn’t play itright,
A deal like that would really do me good.

Come on then Dealer, do what you’re paid to do,
shuffle and deal from the top of the deck and give me the cards I’m due.
Come on now Dealer, let’s get on with the game,
win or lose I’ll be the one to carry the blame.

I don’t want a hand that’s full of hearts,
I know they will only get torn apart,
but I could use some clubs to defend the diamonds I’ll hold.
If you give me spades, I could dig my grave,
and knowing how the path to glory is paved
I’ll gamble with my life, but not my soul.

Come on then Dealer, do what you’re paid to do,
shuffle and deal from the top of the deck and give me the cards I’m due.
Come on now Dealer, let’s get on with the game,
win or lose I gotta catch that morning train.

Janus faces, playing cards,
waiting for aces with nerveless hearts,
staring at each others eyes through tension and smoke.
All looking for signs of the other man’s tell,
they’re meant for Heaven but they’re closer to hell,
Not even the winner has the faintest glimmer of hope.

Come on then Dealer, do what you’re paid to do,
shuffle and deal from the top of the deck and give me the cards I’m due.
Come on now Dealer, let’s get on with the game,
win or lose I gotta catch that morning train.
