The Game

I met a man in the mirror
Who couldn't see what he could see
He had a special look
He said he made just for me
He took me to a bar
Where we met a man named Poe
Had a blackbird on his shoulder
Said I heard you wanna give it a go

If you're gonna play the game
You better be the house or the dealer
Cause your devils, they gon' yell
But your angels they gon' whisper

We went to see the sinners
Then we went see to the saints
I heard sometimes what it looks like
Is what it ain't
Grandma said go to the church
See what the good lord had to say
But the good lord didn't answer
At least it felt that way
So

If you're gonna play the game
You better be the house or the dealer
Cause your devils, they gon' yell
But your angels they gon' whisper

If you're gonna play the game
You better be the house or the dealer
Cause your devils, they gon' yell
But your angels they gon' whisper

We went to see the fortune teller
To see if time was on my side
She said looking at the cards I can see
You've had one hell of a ride
Some might call it love
Others call it crazy
But you've got two lives left of nine
I'd say that's plenty

If you're gonna play the game
You better be the house or the dealer
Cause your devils, they will yell
While your angels tend to whisper

If you're going to play the game
Roll the dice and try it
Listen real close
Cause the angels, they are quiet

If you're gonna play the game
You better be the house or the dealer
Cause your devils, they will yell
While your angels tend to whisper
