Straight Face

God bless you
And that face card
The curve that rests
Face forward and locked in place
Holding bets in the pocket
While focused on the dealers face
Steal from the living
Pay tribute to the dead

Settle my soul with those classy blues
Controlled inside out
I'm a product of halfway there
Lost in free will
Cause baby I bet on what I lose

Diamonds lit the way
Left all thoughts in grace
Followed patterns in the sky
Always awaken at twilight
I have never questioned why
And then I left my body
For real estate in time and space

Inked angel my only friend
Drowned in truth
Believes in lady luck and bad karma
Songs of life and love
To serenade the forgotten youth
With blessed tidings from above
We pay tribute
