Spades And Chains Braddigan lyrics

Ain’t found a way to kill me yet,
My eyes are burning and stinging with sweat,
Seems every path leads me to nowhere.

Coming back,
Coming home,
The Queen of Love enters the room,
Silence ensues,
Said the king ‘What have you done to my life,’
did you take me for a fool or for a wife’.

And the king is in his court,
Counting all his diamonds,
One by one they do fall.

Says the queen ‘The Prince of Spades
Is coming home,
it’d be nice if you could find some time alone
After all he’s in line for the throne’.

And the king is in his court,
Counting all his diamonds,
One by one they do fall.
They do fall.

There was a queen who stepped in the room,
The king followed, and the prince did too,
Come in, come in, check your smile at the door,
Come in, come in, check your smile at the door,
At the door.

So now, just come up your ass,
Leave all your treasures behind,
Your son is coming home with you to spend some time
Show him how a good king should be,
And don’t ever forget the day,
You turned your back on him and me,
But still I stayed.
Still I stayed.

Oh, oh, oh.

Wife and kid,
And household pet,
Army green is no safe bet.
The bullets scream to me from somewhere.
From somewhere.
