lyrics

Skipped all the good stuff
and took straight up with the pills
Now you're underneath the table
licking dollar bills
They took you to the country
but you will never wean
The queen of clubs
just can't get clean

She traded silver
she traded up for gold
She sold the soil when the dirt got too old
She'll make you travel
'cause you know just what it means
The queen of spades lives in New Orleans

Gone too far with your money
far enough with your clothes
Put your rings up in the air
so that everybody knows
You wanted to go second class
now what did you expect?
The queen of diamonds is a long train wreck

Every now and then
you're satisfied until the end
Then all the king's horses
trample over you again
You may look forever
but you will not collect
when the queen of hearts
lies at the bottom of the deck
