Songtexte The Cards Don't Lie: A Liar's Bar Song (feat. FamilyJules & Jordin Overton) - Random Encounters

Why not fill out a will while we deal you in?
You can rest in peace, cause you're not going to win
It's a pretty long shot and the odds are far
But you know anything can happen down here in the Liar's Bar

Everyone here is at the end of their rope
You got blackmail, murder, and a whole lot of nope
But despite the things you've done, and no matter who you are
You'll find that no one needs to know in the Liar's Bar
The winner takes all is the law of the land
If you wanna cheat death, you'll need a heck of a hand
Where cards are concerned, here's the cardinal rule
You can win any hand, if it's played on a fool

We'll take the shirt off your back, by the suit of your coat
I only cut the deck so I can slit your throat
A wolf can play possum
Even crocs can cry

The only certainty you certainly can trust
Is the cards don't lie

I won my first game against an ardiuous aardvark
I ate him alive like a carnivorous cardshark
Swindle a swine and it'll come to bear
I eat fresh meat and I take my stakes rare!
I played eight hands with a spider quite handily
If he were still here, he'd say I played underhandedly

I outfoxed a fox!
Embarrased a bear!
Was lying to lions while splitting a hare!

All the kings at the table tryna play their queens
They hide their tells so well, I can't tell what it means!
I'll put two queens down
One more from me
Would you all call me a liar if I threw in three?

It's in a wet bead of sweat, a glint in the eye
The tap of a thumb, or the sound of a sigh
And then the blood runs cold, the tension is high

The gun goes click, click, click
'Cause the cards don't lie

Bristle played dirty so he had to be dusted
Bust a cap in his cap, when his cap got busted
That's the hand he was dealt
But his brains are leaking
We paint the town red, in a manner of speaking

You can play hard, you can play fair
But play the wrong card and you'll be saying your prayers
If it doesn't sit right, I'll pull any thread
My ace in the hole is a hole in your head

No one walks away
Till they're dead, or out of cards
The price is steep, we play for keeps down here in the Liar's Bar

It's in the sound of your voice
The words that you said
And no one thinks clearly with a gun to their head
And then your fear takes hold, and fingers all fly

The triggers go click, click, click
'Cause the cards don't lie

Some of us are drawing cards
While some of us are drawing guns
And every time you draw a breath
It could be the last one

And then there were two, the final liars left
An unlikely duo, in a duel to the death
I'm duly impressed, you've played remarkably hard
But your number is up, and now your fate's in the cards
The wheels start to turn
"How could she have known?"
And panic sets in
"My cover is blown!"
Where there's smoke and there's mirrors
Someones playing with fire
Three kings? I don't think so
I think you're a liar

It's in the hand you were dealt, the cards that you save
The lies that you tell, as you dig your own grave
And then they call your bluff, your mouth runs dry

The gun goes click, click, click
'Cause the cards don't lie

I counted you out, it won't happen again
Cause one way or other, our game's at an end
There's nowhere to hide
There's no point to run
One perilous play puts an end to the fun
So what will it be? An ace or a bluff?
You may have a few, but it isn't enough
You could try to lie, I might fall for the truth
But the real gamble is, am I a sap or a sleuth?

That's the best you can do? Your ultimate play?
You fold like a fool while I walk away?
No ace in the hole, no trick up your sleeve?
Not one little bluff I'd find tough to believe?

It's in the twitch of your wrist
The way that you shake
While making a frankly catastrophic mistake!
I can read in your face, you're not ready to die
But there's no going back
Now the deck has been stacked

And the words can't distract from the fact
That the cards don't lie
