Lyrics
Watch everyone's eyes and hands
Nervous twitches give them away
Some people insist on table talk
Only 1 hand wins each time you play
I can't predict the future
But I can play the odds
Safe bets, big bluffs and no body language
And don't jinx the poker gods
I don't get stuck about Lady Luck
Just maximize every hand you're in
It's too much superstition
Everybody's luck runs thin
The fickle hand of fate will give you bad cards
Ante up sucker..Are you playing or not?
Your money or your mouth, C'mon big shot
And don't jinx the poker gods
Chorus
Suicide Kings and Lady Luck
Can bluff your way out of this one?
Suicide Kings and Lady Luck
Everybody knows you're done
Read 'em and weap everyone
I love it when I take the pot o' gold
Everybody wants to play the high rollers
But losing big gets very old
Don't throw good money after bad
Don't play to carry a grudge
If you shot your wad, just walk away
And don't jinx the poker gods
