If you like to gamble, I'll tell you how to play You win some, lose some, it's all the same to me The pleasure is to play, it makes no difference what you say I don't share your greed, the only card I need is The ace of spades The ace of spades Playing from the high road, dancing with the devil Going with the flow, it's all a game to me Seven or eleven, snake eyes are watching you Double up or quit, double stakes or split The ace of spades The ace of spades You know I'm born to lose And gambling's for fools But that's the way I like it, baby I don't wanna live forever And don't forget the joker Pushing up the ante, I know you've got to see me Read 'em and weep, the dead man's hand again I see it in your eyes, take one look and die The only thing you see, you know it's gonna be The ace of spades The ace of spades
