Playing cards with Judas |
|
In the lounge of a Hotel |
|
And I ask while we're playing |
|
If he likes it there in Hell |
|
Judas doesn't answer |
|
He just laughs and plays his hand, |
|
Lights another cigarette and turns toward the band |
|
I have no missionary zeal, I say |
|
No armies fighting sin |
|
But I'll keep playing, I'll keep playing |
|
Until I win |
|
I always loved the blues, he says, from behind that grin |
|
Are you getting used to losing yet, girl? |
|
I stack and deal them again |
|
All our friends have good intentions, |
|
But they're a thousand years too late |
|
A few buildings and commandments |
|
Won't save you from your fate. |
|
I have no missionary zeal, I say, |
|
No armies fighting sin |
|
But I'll keep playing, I'll keep playing |
|
Until I win |
|
Ahh... |
|
I have no missionary zeal, I say |
|
I don't believe in sin |
|
But I'll keep playing, I'll keep playing |
|
I'll keep playing |
|
I'll keep playing |
|
I'll keep playing |
|
I'll keep playing |
|
Until I win... |
