Song Description

The POKER song. Story of a heads-up poker match between our protagonist and "the Shark" Big band brassy Vegas

Lyrics

There's a shark in the room somewhere



I can smell the blood from here



He's short stacking on purpose



Little fish think there's nothing to fear





He's sittin' in the weeds - hungry



All head's up, ready to feed



The kill is on - Watchout!



He's gonna make someone bleed





Bodies are floating everywhere



We're creating quite a "crimson tide"



Both of us circling - knowing



This is the final ride







Everything's come down to this



Just like I knew it would



With so much more to lose than pride



We both know we're good





So burn it



And turn it



Cause I'm all in



So you think you're good?



You gotta be great - to think you're gonna win



So burn it



And turn it



Is the river your friend?



So you think you're good



Well you gotta be great - or your ride's gonna end

Final table I'm limpin' in



And the flop's about to fly



The Shark's chopped my legs from under me



Time to do or die





It's my own blood, that I'm drownin' in



But on the turn I'm startin to swim



I dodge a bullet on the river, I see the shark shiver



And my cowboys find a friend





So burn it



And turn it



Cause I'm all in



So you think you're good



You had to be great to think you were gonna win





So burn it



And turn it



The river wasn't your friend



Oh yes you were good



But you had to be great - to Contend
