The Stragglers - Cheap Suit Lyrics

With the cards on the table I itch
It's been a long, long time
My blinds, just watching the turn
It turned out for the worst
But in a cheap suit I strived
And in a cheap suit I buried the kings alive
I lost a stack from the math that I did in my head
What can you expect if you're hanging on just by a thread
Well I'm down but not out and watch out
The dealer's armed
On my left left his kids in the cold
To get this far
Here I sit again
Beside you
Even though I know
I've been lied to
The law, the lay, the land
This hand's my call
This is my favourite place
I even kept a face
Without letting
On I had the ace
You kept betting
I've been here for days
I'm gonna risk it all
My plan is slowly falling apart
I reassure you I'm fine
I've tried to curb my habit at best
I slip from time to time
And in a cheap suit I cried
In a cheap suit I laid it all on the line
I know just what you're thinking it's true
Because I just can't quit
Aren't you just a little bit proud
It's what I can admit
If I can reach my goal then we're gold
If not I'll go all in
The worst part it drags me down
If I don't win
Here I sit again
Beside you
Even though I know
I've been lied to
The law, the lay, the land
This hand's my call
This is my favourite place
I even kept a face
Without letting
On I had the ace
You kept betting
I've been here for days
I'm gonna risk it all
I'm afraid it's all long gone
Here I sit again
Beside you
Even though I know
I've been lied to
The law, the lay, the land
This hand's my call
This is my favourite place
I even kept a face
Without letting
On I had the ace
You kept betting
I've been here for days
I'm gonna risk it all
I'm afraid it's all long gone
