Lyrics Electric Light Orchestra

Electric Light Orchestra

Poker

Away, the jokers's closing in,

Reform and they will win,

The light is fading fast.

I know, you know, they know, we all know,

Everybody's gonna burn down.

The girls come crawling on all fours,

Banging on locked doors,

High cards call the tune.

I know, you know, they know, we all know,

Everybody's gonna burn down.

Play me another hand,

Loose everything I am,

Until we meet again.

The ace, that's hiding up your sleeve,

Will cause the world to grieve,

The love you had is gone,

I know you know, they know, we all know.

The dream, in every player's heart,

To win it all not part,

They lie awake at night,

I know, you know, they know, we all know.

The game, where gamblers rule the night,

And get your blood they might,

The joker's closin' in,

I know, you know, they know, we all know.
