Solitaire

Black on the red and the red on the black

It's a tic of a tired mind

Come and sit down won't you try your luck

See if you unwind

Never use your threes and twos

Follow superstition

Otherwise you are going to lose

Compulsion makes you listen

Take what's wrong and make it go right

And weave it like a prayer

Wonder if you you'll spend the night

Playing solitaire

Do it again when you find you're all done

Like an idiot savant

Shuffle up your luck you see you almost won

Now wrestle down what you want

Jack on the queen and the ten on the jack

It's a happy repetition

You and your fate in a kind of check mate

And you are your only competition

Take what's wrong and make it go right

And weave it like a prayer

Wonder if you you'll spend the night

Playing solitaire

Take what's wrong and make it go right

Can't weave it like a prayer

Wonder if you you'll spend the night

Playing solitaire
