Lyrics
Takin' a chance of a lifetime
Taking a significant risk or opportunity in life
Dealers draw and crazy eights
Referencing card games, where players draw cards; "crazy eights" is a specific game
Queen of hearts is beside me
Symbolic reference to a significant female figure (potentially luck or love)
Flippin' me the ace of spades
Receiving a surprising and potentially dangerous card (ace of spades)
Monte Carlo - both sides I want more
Desire for more from both sides of a situation, possibly related to gambling (Monte Carlo)
Leads around me, creapin' by the score
Feeling surrounded by or pursued by various forces or individuals
Feels like an ace in the hole
Having a valuable or advantageous position
Wants to get to me
Someone or something desiring to influence or affect the singer
But it just takes my soul
The situation taking a toll on the singer's spirit or essence
Feels like an ace in the hole
Reiteration of feeling in a valuable or advantageous position
Feels like an ace in the hole
-Queen of hearts is walkin'
The significant female figure mentioned earlier is moving through a gambling area
Cross the gamblin' floor
The singer observes the movements of the significant female figure
Two girls on each side
Describing the presence of other women, potentially competition or distractions
Headin' for the gold trimmed door
Heading towards an exit or a desired goal
I just cashed in my chips now
Metaphorically leaving a situation before it reaches a conclusion
Before they tallied up the score
Not concerned about the outcome or consequences
I don't mind, I got my ticket on my side
Having a plan or a way out when leaving the situation
When I'm headin' for my gold trimmed door
Heading towards an exit or a desired goal
Feels like an ace in the hole
Reiteration of feeling in a valuable or advantageous position
Wants to get to me
Someone or something desiring to influence or affect the singer
But it just takes my soul
The situation taking a toll on the singer's spirit or essence
Feels like an ace in the hole
Reiteration of feeling in a valuable or advantageous position
Feels like an ace in the hole
