Red velvet... Gold smoke... Cut the deck... [VERSE 1] He walks in slow through neon rain Black silk shirt and a diamond cane Girls lean sideways when he grins Every bad idea begins Whiskey halos on the glass Roulette ghosts and shaking cash Velvet ropes and crocodile shoes Nobody here got less to lose He don't flirt He deals Cold fingertips on spinning wheels One gold tooth One blood-red tie Everybody knows he lies [PRE-CHORUS] He slides one card across the bar Says: “You already know who you are...” [CHORUS] KING OF HEARTS CUT THE DECK BREAK YOUR CHEST PLACE YOUR BETS KING OF HEARTS MOVE TOO CLOSE LOSE YOUR CASH LOSE YOUR SOUL [DROP] KING KING KING OF HEARTS KING KING KING OF HEARTS [VERSE 2] Red light sweating on chrome machines Lipstick stains and shattered dreams Saxophone crying through the smoke Somebody laughing at a dirty joke Dice hit hard like falling teeth Cheap perfume and burning heat Every queen inside this room Already dancing toward her doom He taps ash into a crystal tray Makes whole tables drift his way Nobody sees the second hand Switching cards beneath his hand [PRE-CHORUS] He smiles once... The whole room bends Somebody wins Somebody ends [CHORUS] KING OF HEARTS CUT THE DECK BREAK YOUR CHEST PLACE YOUR BETS KING OF HEARTS MOVE TOO CLOSE LOSE YOUR CASH LOSE YOUR SOUL [BRIDGE] Three in the morning Champagne floors Somebody crawling toward the doors Red kings floating through the air No one remembers how they got there He lifts his glass The room stands still Even the band forgets to feel [CHORUS] KING OF HEARTS STACK THE CARDS KISS TOO FAST WAKE UP SCARRED KING OF HEARTS LAST CALL KING EVERYBODY DANCE WHILE THE JACKPOTS SING You should've walked away.
