about

Written with characters taken from the twin worlds of nursery rhyme stories and a deck of cards, this song is about a trusting man getting taken advantage of by a beautiful young woman who uses her beauty for evil.

lyrics

LYRICS:
The stories I heard when I was a child
All the beautiful women were good
Evil looked a certain way
Just like evil should
CHORUS
Blinded by her angel face
I couldn’t see her evil heart
My kingdom came tumbling down
Just a castle built of cards

v2
In real life she blurred those lines
Of what I thought I knew
The jack would trump the King and Queen
And the devil got his due

REPEAT CHORUS

Bridge
The queen of spades was cold as ice
She would never blink
Its a thin line that separates
The fool and the suicide king

REPEAT CHORUS
