Heavenly Skipjack
I keep my hand hidden from view A poker face is what's called for with you I hold my cards tight to my chest Just one misjudged look, and you'll guess the rest (Cathy's part:) Look in the glass, reflections of me My cards lade bare on the table to see (Amelia's part:) (Look, can't you see me? Acting cool, when Really I'm scared, that this game's unfair) (Cathy's part:) My cheating eyes are all that you know Now you're the banker, it's your turn to go (Amelia's part:) You could cheat me if you wanted to I could not think any worse of you Each way I lose a heart but somehow I lost the art Of playing these stupid games, you're gonna win again and I don't know what to do I've gambled everything but you still ask for more I can't afford not to give Just one more chance, If only for the past I know it's my last now Not much to lose, when you've lost it all But why must you take it so hard when you fall (Cathy's part:) I'll pay again at your asking price I must accept it, but your look's like ice (Amelia's part:) I've tried to delay to put off the day It comes clear you don't need me here (Cathy's part:) Dragged through the mill numb to it all Just when I thought it was my turn to call (Amelia's part:) I know it is time for me to leave Turn my worst fears into certainty But I can't bring myself to leave for somewhere else Without you forcing me which you won't do which means that
