Place where I play
Blood is thicker than water
Even more than that decree - we're the same

Take this for it’s worth
While I'm sane  

In life
I’ve found a card game  

The place where I play
Rather far away  

Player bravado
Some at the table greet me with a trivial smile 

A bluff, a deception
Their tell told and placed on trial  

Others are old friends
Those I’ve talked rhymes in  

Finally the pigeon
Is the facade fool you see  

He stays
With a one-eyed Jack of spades  

My card in the hole
Suicide King has me made
