Lyrics
Checkmate honey, beat ya at your own damn game
Expressing victory over someone at their own game.
No dice honey, I'm livin' on the astral plane
Rejecting luck, living in a different realm.
Feet's on the ground,
Being practical and grounded.
And your head's goin' down the drain
Your intellect or focus is deteriorating.
Oh, heads I win, tails you lose,
Confident in winning regardless of the outcome.
To the never mind
Ignoring a situation or disregarding it.
Where to draw the line
Deciding on boundaries or limits.
An indian summer, carrie was all over the floor
Referencing an enjoyable period, possibly carefree.
She was a wet net winner,
Someone successful in a particular area (possibly relationships).
And rarely ever left the store
Staying within a familiar space (literal or metaphorical).
She'd sing and dance all night,
Having a good time, overshadowing mistakes.
And wrong all the right out of me
Correcting faults or errors in oneself.
Oh, pass me the vile and cross your fingers,
Seeking something to alleviate a situation, hoping for luck.
It don't take time know where to draw the line
Being decisive about setting limits without delay.
Hi ho silver, we were singin' all your cowboy songs
Enjoying old-fashioned or traditional things.
Oh, you told Carrie,
Informing someone (Carrie) about plans, possibly leaving soon.
And promised her you wouldn't be long
Assuring Carrie of a short absence.
Heads I win, tails you lose,
Confident about winning despite circumstances.
Lord it's such a crime
Expressing dissatisfaction with a situation.
No dice honey, you're the salt,
Comparing someone to an important or valued element.
You're the queen of the brine
Describing someone as essential but salty (possibly bitter).
Checkmate honey, you're the only one who's got to choose
Empowering someone to make crucial decisions.
Where to draw the line
Reiterating the importance of setting boundaries.
Checkmate, don't be late
Urging someone not to delay in making a move.
Take another pull
Encouraging to take another drink or indulge.
That's right, impossible
Emphasizing something being extremely difficult.
When you got to be yourself
Encouraging authenticity and being true to oneself.
You're the boss, the toss
Being in control and responsible for decisions.
The price, the dice
Various aspects influencing outcomes or choices.
Grab yourself a slice
Suggesting to take advantage of life's opportunities.
Know where to draw the line
Reiterating the importance of setting boundaries and limits.
