Lyrics
The casino floor is full of men so frightened
The casino floor is crowded with anxious men attempting to earn a living.
Trying to make a pay
They are striving to achieve financial success.
to win or lose we know just how our night ends
Regardless of the outcome, the inevitability of the night's conclusion is known.
Gonna throw it all away
The decision to risk everything is imminent.
Oh, but suddenly you draw the queen of diamonds
Unexpectedly, you obtain the queen of diamonds in the game.
And everyone around you turns to silence
The atmosphere becomes silent as everyone observes this fortunate event.
Another plea to keep the repo man from dialing your name
An appeal to avoid repossession, urging the repo man not to contact you repeatedly.
Again and again
This plea is a recurring occurrence in your life.
You think of all the gifts that you would give her
You contemplate the gifts that might convince someone to stay with you.
Trying to make her stay, oh
An attempt to make a significant other remain in the relationship.
And you remember all the love she carried with her
Recollection of the love someone used to carry, now reminiscent of cheap and bitter Champagne.
Like a bitter cheap Champagne
The love has lost its luster and become unpleasant.
Now that's history, you've drawn the queen of diamonds
The past is now history, and you've drawn the queen of diamonds.
It'll be limousines and Caribbean islands
Anticipating a luxurious lifestyle with limousines and Caribbean islands.
You can't wait to see her standing there just smiling
The eagerness to witness her joyous presence, a refreshing change.
For a change, change, for a change
Hoping for a positive transformation in the game of life.
What a fools game, oh
Reflecting on the foolishness inherent in the pursuit of such games.
Those whiskey drinks, they give you your ambition
Whiskey drinks fuel your ambition.
While the bar ladies, they work for their commission
Bar ladies work for their commission, emphasizing the transactional nature of relationships.
But it doesn't stop a sucker like you wishing it away
Despite this, a hopeful desire persists to wish away the challenging circumstances.
Oh, how can it be you draw the queen of diamonds
Surprisingly, you once again draw the queen of diamonds.
It was limousines and Caribbean islands
Envisioning a future with opulence and luxury.
What you didn't see is the dealer, he was hiding an ace
The unseen factor is the dealer hiding an ace, introducing an unexpected twist.
An ace, what an ace
Realization that there was a hidden advantage, an ace, in the cruel game.
What a cruel, cruel game, oh
Contemplating the inherent cruelty and unpredictability of the game being played.
