[Verse] In a dusty saloon At a ghost town's heart Where echoes of the boom And the card games start [Verse 2] Fingers clutch the cards whiskey glasses spread around Placing a bet isn't hard Trading fortunes all around [Chorus] Aces and eights Dead man's hand It's the cheaters fate With a stolen hand Pistols fill the hands Of the men involved Time passes like sand As the earth revolves [Bridge] They place their bets Under the lantern light It's as real as it gets What an erie sight [Guitar solo] [Verse 3] Lantern lights flicker Casting strange shadows You can hear the whispers As time moves slow [Verse 4] Cards on the table, Aces and eights It's all just a fable It's a cheaters fate [Chorus] [Guitar solo] [Verse 5] So if you pass near And see flickering lights You better steer clear Or be part of the fight [Verse 6] This ghostly game Continues through time Results are the same Each and every time [Chorus] [Fade to end]
