On Your Mark

$50 buy in, pick a table
A crooked game, an honest mind a baby face
10,000 hands of cards will show you who you are
Turn beggars into kings then into slaves

On your mark, get set, go and don’t come back
This merry go round has jumped off it’s track
On your mark, get set, go and don’t come back
Go and don’t come back, go go go

As lovers leave their blankets, stir their coffee
And early risers hustle down the boulevard
$100 bill is burning through your will
Your wallet and your pride fold in the dark

On your mark, get set, go and don’t come back
This merry go round has jumped off it’s track
On your mark, get set, go and don’t come back
Go and don’t come back, go go go

Another bluff another morning
Another bust another warning

$1000 buy in, pick your poison
An honest game, a crooked mind a river chase
10,000 hands of cards will show you who you are
Turn beggars into kings then into slaves

On your mark, get set, go and don’t come back
This merry go round has jumped off it’s track
On your mark, get set, go and don’t come back
Go and don’t come back, go go
On your mark, get set, go and don’t come back
This merry go round has jumped off it’s track
On your mark, get set, go and don’t come back
Go and don’t come back, go go go go go go
Go go
