lyrics

I wasn’t really looking to
Torpedo my whole life
But when I saw you there I threw
Two desperate deadly dice
They never even hit the floor
You caught them with a grin
The snake eyes rolled concealed by
The palm they nestled in

It seemed to me that she would be
Something that I couldn’t believe
Would I finally be freed
By what I was about to receive?

So many times a pair of nines
Can be the winning hand
Just you and me, the car, the road
No more to understand
But even as my fingers
Began to count the chips
The deck was cut and shuffled
And the ante was our bliss

(Pre-chorus)

I want more
Again
Forever
It’ll never be enough
Gonna drown
Myself
In pleasure
Don’t want to live without your love

Though the queen makes moves like magic
From the perspective of the pawn
I knew there’d be a morning
When I’d awake to find you gone
Yet I took off all my armor and
It melted in the heat
All you left was a Scorpio earring
Underneath the passenger seat

(Chorus)

So many times a pair of nines
Can be the winning hand
I’m staring at an empty road
And I start to understand
There’s a feeling in my fingers
Reaching for my missing chips
There’s a feeling in my lips as I
Recall your parting kiss
