"Poker" lyrics
"Poker"
Away, the joker's closing in
Reform and they will win
The light is fading fast
I know, you know, they know, we all know
Everybody's gonna burn down
The girls come crawling on all fours
Banging on locked doors
High cards call the tune
I know, you know, they know, we all know
Everybody's gonna burn down
Play me another hand
Lose everything I am
Until we meet again
The ace that's hiding up your sleeve
Will cause the world to grieve
The love you had is gone
I know you know, they know, we all know
The dream in every player's heart
To win it all, not part
They lie awake at night
I know, you know, they know, we all know
The game where gamblers rule the night
And get your blood they might
The joker's closing in
I know, you know, they know, we all know
Thanks to mdw for correcting these lyrics.

But he is dying to be loved
He's telling me living
Is so magic...

Styx - "Witch Wolf" Reoccurring symptoms
Answer the baleful howl
Bringing me dreams of darkness
The doer of all that's foul
Raping the minds of infants

Full moon warrior
Doer of sordid deeds...
Genesis - "Keep It Dark" Found that man reported missing
He wandered in his home
It don't seem too bad if you consider
Just what he's been through
It seems he met up with a gang of thieves
Who mistook him for a man of means...
