Dealing - Cass McCombs

Dealing

Dealing is better than kneeling

Dealing

Give it to me straight, I can deal

Funny how a game can get so real

Our cards we conceal

My hand was bad, I sent three back

Won’t you cut me a little slack?

Jimmy Eisley’s dealing smack

The dealer deals, the house always wins

Who can absolve me of my sins?

Aces high, like Fairlane fins

I made a deal so I could walk

The price on my head I stuck in my sock

For Mephistopheles and Shylock

Our loved ones go

Where we don’t know

A side I’m not afraid to show

Dealing

Dealing is better than kneeling
