Hustled

When the cards were dealtÂ
I was distracted it seemsÂ
I got nightmaresÂ
They got dreamsÂ
My hand, it was more
Like a rotten old foot
Their doors were openedÂ
Mine were all shut
Their cards properly shuffledÂ
A right royal flush
My bird in the hand
But none in the bush
Their plain poker faces
I thought I could trust
They got blackjackÂ
But I'm shit or bust
Each one of themÂ
Had a card up their sleeve
I wore a tank top
Far too naive
When the cards were dealtÂ
I was distracted it seems
I got nightmaresÂ
They got dreamsÂ
