Just a bit of background here about this song: I was watching heads-up poker the other day and just felt compelled to write a song about poker. This is what came about.

Pocket rocket's is what he's sitting on
Thinking what to put the next guy on
Ace-king is what he reads
Anything less is what he needs

Hey everybody meet mr.pokerface
Shades pulled down he's in his own place
Earbuds in to block out the sound
Of everyone sitting all around

He put's you on something less
It's just like a game of chess
The long and short is he's out
Only one player left to finish the rout

Hey everybody meet mr.pokerface
Shades pulled down he's in his own place
Earbuds in to block out the sound
Of everyone sitting all around

You're sitting now just heads up
He raises your bet cause he calls your bluff
You see right through his blank expresion
In go your chips with one swift motion
You can feel the tension, it clouds the air
But you're calm as can be you don't even care
Finally we'll see some of the action
Two open hands no room for caution
The flop the turn and then the river
Five cards away 'til your biggest pot ever
Your lips have the taste of a cool million
Bucks but the last card has you reelin'
Through the tunes you hear a sound you dread
Your heart sinks like a pound of lead
You lost he won, what have you done
You remove your shades cause there is no sun

Hey everybody meet mr.pokerface
Shades pulled up with a look of disgrace
Earbuds in to block out the sound
Of his hopes and dreams being drowned

Thanks for the read in advance, any and all commments are appreciated. Don't worry, I'm not fragile...
