"The Cards Don't Lie: A Liar's Bar Song" lyrics
(feat. FamilyJules & Jordin Overton)
Why not fill out a will
While we deal you in?
You can rest in peace
Cause you're not going to win
It's a pretty long shot
And the odds are far
But you know anything can happen
Down here in the Liar's Bar...
Everyone here's at the end of their rope
You got blackmail... and murder... and a whole lot of nope
But despite the things you've done, and no matter who you are
You'll find that no one needs to know in the Liar's Bar
The winner takes all
Is the law of the land
If you wanna cheat death
You'll need a heck of a hand
Where cards are concerned
Here's the cardinal rule:
You can win any hand
If it's played on a fool
We'll take the shirt off your back
By the suit of your coat
I only cut the deck
So I can slit your throat!
A wolf can play possum
Even crocs can cry
The only certainty you certainly can trust
Is the cards don't lie
I won my first game
Against an arduous aardvark
I ate him alive
Like a carnivorous card shark
Swindle a swine
And it'll come to bear
I eat fresh meat
And I take my stakes rare!
I played eight hands
With a spider quite handily
If he were still here
He'd say I played underhandedly
I outfoxed a fox!
Embarrassed a bear!
Was lying to lions
While splitting a hare!
All the kings at the table tryna play their Queens
They hide their tells so well, I can't tell what it means...
I'll put two queens down!
One more from me
Would you all call me a liar if I threw in three?
It's in
A wet bead of sweat...
A glint in the eye...
The tap of a thumb
Or the sound of a sigh
And then
The blood runs cold!
The tension is high!
The gun goes
Click... Click... CLICK!
Cause the cards don't lie!
Bristle played dirty
So he had to be dusted
Bust a cap in his cap
When his cap got busted
That's the hand he was dealt-
But his brains are leaking-
We paint the town red
In a manner of speaking
You can play hard
You can play fair
But play the wrong card
And you'll be saying your prayers
If it doesn't sit right
I'll pull any thread
My ace in the hole
Is a hole in your head!
No one walks away...
Till they're dead or out of cards...
The price is steep — we play for keeps
Down here in the Liar's Bar
It's in
The sound of your voice
The words that you said
And no one thinks clearly
With a gun to their head
And then
Your fear takes hold
And fingers all fly-
The triggers go click... click... CLICK!
Cause the cards don't lie
Some of us are drawing cards
While some of us are drawing guns
And every time you draw a breath
It could be... the last... one
And then there were two
The final liars left...
An unlikely duo
In a duel to the death!
I'm duly impressed!
You've played remarkably hard
But your number is up
And now your fate's in the cards...
The wheels start to turn...
"How could she have known?"
And panic sets in:
"My cover is blown!"
Where there's smoke and there's mirrors
Someone's playing with fire...
Three Kings? I don't think so
I think you're a liar
It's in
The hand you were dealt...
The cards that you save...
The lies that you tell
As you dig your own grave...
And then
They call your bluff!
Your mouth runs dry!
The gun goes click... click... CLICK!
Cause the cards don't lie!
I counted you out
It won't happen again
Cause one way or other
Our game's at an end
There's nowhere to hide
There's no point to run
One perilous play
Puts an end to the fun
So what will it be?
An ace or a bluff?
You may have a few
But it isn't enough
You could try to lie
I might fall for the truth!
But the real gamble is
Am I a sap or a sleuth?
That's the
Best you can do?
Your ultimate play?
You fold like a fool
While I walk away?
No ace in the hole?
No trick up your sleeve?
Not one little bluff
I'd find tough to believe?
It's in
The twitch of your wrist...
The way that you shake
While making a frankly
Catastrophic mistake...
I can
Read in your face
You're not ready to die
But there's no going back-
Now the deck has been stacked
And no words can distract
From the fact that the cards don't lie...
While we deal you in?
You can rest in peace
Cause you're not going to win
It's a pretty long shot
And the odds are far
But you know anything can happen
Down here in the Liar's Bar...
Everyone here's at the end of their rope
You got blackmail... and murder... and a whole lot of nope
