Lay Them Down

Mischief in motion

Seemed innocent enough

Wild-eyed devotion

Now you can't give it up

Back on your feet again

You call it luck

You'd justify anything

Rather than give it up

It should not have to be so hard

If you don't see it in the cards

Lay them down lay them down lay them down

You don't need them any more

Lay them down lay them down lay them down

Oh

The only prayer the gambler prays

Is that his face won't show his hand

He's perfected a way

To shut out everything

There's a fire where the children are

But you refuse to see the flames

They try to warn you baby

But you won't leave your game

It should not have to be so hard

If you don't see it in the cards

Da di

Lay them down lay them down lay them down

You don't need them any more

Lay them down lay them down lay them down

Yeh

You can't think of folding your hand

You can't think of walking away

Not till you win one more game

Then you won't need it any more

You won't need it any more

It should not have to be so hard

If you don't see it in the cards

Oh

Lay them down lay them down lay them down

It should not have to be so hard

Lay them down lay them down

Lay them down

Lay them down

Lay them down

Oh

Lay them down

Lay them down

Lay them down

Come on

Lay them down
