Darling Pokerface

Somewhere in between young ambition

And throwing in the towel
Amidst an undecided heart
They up and raised the stakes

Suddenly it's all or nothing
And all the words of wisdom
However true or well-intentioned
Can't change the hand she's been dealt

The ace of spades can't touch her
She's got three of a kind
But in a room full of houses
She's going nowhere

Confident eyes and steady hands
She'll call your bluff before you blink
She's got a face made for poker
But a heart for Russian roulette 

Let your poisoned arrows fly
Every bullet has already hit her
Long before the triggers were pulled
Anticipation is a killer all its own

Eyes iced liked diamonds
Her hearts on her sleeve
With a secret infamy that lives in fight clubs
That smile of spades will dig your grave

Her face was made for poker
But she'd prefer Russian roulette
