Only a Matter of Time

The hand was dealt and the aces were turned
Spread out on felt when the houses were burned
The anvil was black and the dresses were red
You counted up all of your blessings and fled

The hounds love were released out of spite
They found you alone and afraid in the night
The trial was a loaded and sordid affair
Beguiled by betrayal and formed in despair

Ooh, you're hanging for your crimes
and it's only a matter of time before they find you out
Oh, you'd better keep walking
It's only a matter of time

You try to run but your legs fall off
You pull a gun but it's not enough
The sun is setting on another day
Your will to live is slowly ebbing away

Oh, you'd better keep walking
It's only a matter of time

Ooh, you're hanging for your crimes
and it's only a matter of time before they find you out
Oh, you'd better keep walking
It's only a matter of time
