Phantom Pact

from This​/​That by Ok Housecat

/

lyrics

I have this friend, he hardly speaks
but when he's dealt a card he peeks
to see if it's the one he seeks
it's not, he sits and keeps his peace

from within the fleece of godless lambs
the devil dealt that crooked hand
then gave the game for shelter and
beneath the table quickly planned
to snap back like a rubber band

now candid, he picks up the stack of cards
and deals me in exactly a dealer should, in fact,
with splendid, expert, skillful tact

now with the odds, against me, stacked
I fantasize some phantom pact
a religion that could count the cards
if I just have faith in what they are

so my friend, he breathes a wordless sigh
and folds his cards without so much as blinking
but I sense his spite
while conjuring my royal flush
