[Verse 1] She stepped outta nowhere with a deck in her hand, No top hat, no rabbit, just a wild little plan In a borrowed dress and broken shoes, She said, "Tonight I got nothin' left to lose." No safety net, no stage to own, Just a girl who learned to magic on her own She shuffled once and the spotlight hit And that’s when the room said, “Holy shit!” [Chorus] The queens were dancin’ like they owned the sky, Kings held court with a royal sigh, Jacks with swords in a duel so tight You’d swear Errol Flynn just winked mid-fight! The jokers juggled, the numbers played, And the girl who dealt 'em? She stole the stage! She’s the queen of hearts, of diamonds and spades But magic like that? It comes with shades... [Verse 2] The trumpets flared, the bass went boom, Sing, Sing, Sing filled up the room The aces bowed, the tens took lead She was makin’ miracles at lightning speed! Crowd went wild, but the shadows stirred, Old things awoke that ain’t been heard in a hundred years, maybe more... She cracked open more than just the floor. [Bridge - quieter, smoky, mysterious tone] Eyes in the velvet... breath in the dark... Whispers twirlin’ like a question mark "That girl's got power. That girl’s got spark..." But child, every candle leaves a burnin’ mark. [Chorus - full band blast, one octave higher] The queens kept spinnin’, the jacks took flight, The jokers laughed like they knew the night, The kings looked on with a ghostly grin, And somewhere, the devil just cashed in. The audience cheered, but the silence knew That magic was real, and the girl was too. She’s the queen of cards, and she made her play But fate don’t fold when it wants to stay... [Outro - ritardando, soft snare roll and piano] So if you see a girl with a deck and a smile... Best sit down. Might be here a while. She danced with queens, she played with fate... And she drew the eye of something great. Snap. Shuffle. Deal the curse. The Queen of Cards... and a little bit worse.
