letra de one eyed jack - the theater fire
on a seven-joker evening
the one-eyed jack was dealing
i gambled my salvation for a glimpse
of truth and god and life and the hereafter
when i spread a royal fan
i reclined in my chair
and set my stare
the devil always holds the winning hand
i sized up the table
the pools looked unstable
i placed my bet, and laid the ace
and drew four new cards
in a deep velvet slumber
i dreamed of a number
a date when life would vanish from this place
a figure that could change the human race
with my mind half in dreamland
i grabbed a pen from the nightstand
and wrote it on the wall beside my bed
and i pulled the quill above my sleepy head
i awoke in the morning
reflected on the warning
i could not reach the message
it would never be believed
i was crippled by a fall
from a steeple three stories tall
i climbed up there to sharpen and polish
the house of god must always look its best
the doctor touched my toe
pushed his glasses up his nose
he said “my boy, you’ll never walk again.”
then a dealer came and laid hands on my bed
he called for the ante
i tossed mine in gently
if the future could be told
i would cash my chips and fold
