Devil's in the Ace

God is in the jack Devil's in the ace I'm a king bettin' on his queen but a deuce took her place Now I'm on the run the bookie's makin' chase I don't know what I'm runnin' from I'll never leave this place Leave this place All the dreams I ever had I drank and drowned within Now the bottle's empty though my head still spins and this room and this world and my friends and kin in a blaze of glory then it's dark again It's dark again My heart is like a ghost town veins are empty streets I'm a wedding gown after the great divorce I try to keep my head down and my mind off of defeat but the nightmares just come with greater force With greater force The church is always closed the graveyard's ever open A steady flow of ghosts roll out like fog And all the wicked roads I chose led me down to bein' broken where the wind will beat you with the breath of God The breath of God My heart is like a ghost town veins are empty streets I'm a wedding gown after the great divorce I try to keep my head down and my mind off of defeat but the nightmares just come with greater force My halo flew to heaven left me below But no one will ever know because the angel in me it never showed I'd be in with the devil if I could find them crossroads Show me a time that ain't been laced with pain and cryin' Show me a soul that ain't been riddled with stains and holes And I'll show you to the devil if I could find those crossroads
