Lay Them Down

Yeah!

Mischief in motion
Seemed innocent enough
Wild-eyed devotion
Now you can't give it up

Back on your feet again
You call it luck
You justify anything
Rather than give it up

It should not have to be so hard
You don't see it in the cards

Lay them down, lay them down, lay them down
You don't need them anymore
Lay them down, lay them down, lay them down
Hey, hey, hey

The only prayer the gambler prays
Is that his face won't show his hand
He's perfected a way
To shut out everything

There's a fire where the children are
But you refuse to see the flames
They try to warn you, baby
But you won't leave your game

It should not have to be so hard
You don't see it in the cards, hey

Lay them down, lay them down, lay them down
You don't need them anymore
Lay them down, lay them down, lay them down
Put 'em down!

You can't think of folding your hand
You can't think of walking away
Not till you win one more game
Then you won't need it anymore
Won't need anymore

It should not have to be so hard
You don't see it in the cards, ooh

Lay them down, lay them down, lay them down
It should not have to be so hard
Lay them down, lay them down, lay them down, yeah

Lay them down, lay them down, lay them down
Oh, oh, oh
Lay them down, lay them down, lay them down
Come on!
Lay them down
Yeah!
