[Verse 1] A whiskey bottle sits up on the table Stranded by the curling of another's heart I feel a feeling, can't stray on this fortune My heavy sweat and voice is for the right card [Chorus] The unexpected, it will come to haunt you Like a breath of darkness riding in the wind And it will drag you to the bowels of evil Where the wild ones cursed and died again A dead man's hand, a dead man's face Hold them once and you may never escape A dead man's hand, a dead man's face Everybody feels he aces in spades [Verse 2] A loaded gun hiding underneath the table Ready for the trigger in case you might go down You'll either come out standing like a winner Or lying in a pine box six feet underground [Chorus] A dead man's hand, a dead man's face Hold them once and you may never escape A dead man's hand, a dead man's face Everybody feels he aces in spades [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] A dead man's hand, a dead man's face Hold them once and you may never escape A dead man's hand, a dead man's face Everybody feels he aces in spades With a dead man's hand, a dead man's face With a dead man's hand, a dead man's face [Outro] You gonna flip that last card, boy?
