Hives, The - Black Jack Lyrics

Complimentary "Black Jack" Ringtone

Well I lost my shirt in Vegas 
Lost the woman I adored 
I was just about to cash in my chips 
When I heard the word of the lord 
He told me something I remember to this day 
He said everyday's a Broderick
You don't owe it anything 
And with every roll of the game with the dice 
Is a whole new game of chance 
And now I know 
Just one thing for sure 
Way of life 
Is one big gamble 
It can cut you 
Like a knife 
Hit me just 
Once more, Jesus 
With the Black Jack 
Game of lies 

The Black Jack game of lies 

Got a roulette wheel that keeps spinning 
With stacks I can't control 
Well, I bring on the whole jackpot 
Well, I win without my soul 

But now I know I got one thing on my side 
There ain't no telling what you've done 
What I'll be throwing at you 
but I got Jesus on my side 
And the glow in the dark statue 

But now I tried enough 
He says to me 
He says 

(Go back to that way of life part) 

[First verse repeated]
[Chorus repeated]
