I was set-up to let you down
It was always in the cards
I was dealt a heavy hand
Feeling like a royal flush
But I was spade
And I was set-up to take you down
Just like a house of cards
You can only build so high
Until it falls apart
52 card pickup
Look at the mess you made
Boy
So I return to the table
Stack my chips up in a tower
All in for the final deal
Was I even in at all?
52 card pickup
Look at the mess you made
Boy
I was set-up to let you down
It was always in the cards
I was dealt a heavy hand
Feeling like a royal flush
But I was a spade
I was a spade
I was a spade
I was a spade
