Ace of Spades lyrics

[spoken]
“God Himself couldn’t sink…”

[spoken]
“What.”

[spoken]
“Look, nobody understands what exactly’s happening right now.”

[An unsettling banjo melody.]

I ease into the room struttin’ Levi’s like I’m fabulous
Strangers know my face, fans know my Ace Visconti sunglasses
Bettin’ my life on a messianic claim
Feels like goin’ all in
On Texas Hold ’Em

I was a son of NASA
(You can’t think your way into
What’ll turn on a dime)
Next flips the turn
Now I’m Moses on a mission
(Or what’ll float down the river)
You can’t theorize your way into
A messianic claim…
That’s why I ride with one eye open
Sippin’ a vape while drinkin’ the ceiling
Eyes wide shut, yet my faith feels a-healin’
I can barely evеn ’member my name
I еxist in a haze
(’Swhy I never gamble)
The faces around me, they’re tightenin’
The forces in front of us—(do they frighten me?)
Eyes wide shut, yet my fate feels engirded
Into the river; only one shot remains
Need an ace of spades
(I need an ace of spades)

Why pocket cards if you can twirl ’em?
Why obscure my good charm if “better luck can embolden”?
Bettin’ my life on a messianic claim
Felt like goin’ all in
I’m William Holden!

First comes the flop
(You can’t think your way into
What’ll turn on a dime…)
Next flips the turn
Now I’m Neil deGrasse Tyson
(Or what’ll float down a river!)
You can’t theorize your way into
A messianic win
That’s why I sigh with one high hopin’!
Sippin’ a vape while drinkin’ the ceiling
Eyes wide shut, yet my fate feels supported!
I can barely even ’member my name [fist slams into table]
I exist in a haze
(’Swhy I never gamble)
The faces around me, they’re tightenin’
The fortunes in front of us—(are we widenin’?)
Eyes wide shut, yet our lives feel engirded
Onto the board, only one slot remains
I need an ace of spades
(I need an ace of spades!)

I need an ace of spades
(On the flop—a six, a ten, and a king)
Relieved like we’d just
(Been welcomed by God)
On the turn, she flipped a two
(In my hand—a jack, a drill, and a queen)
(All in spades)
I need an ace of spades
Thirty-eight remain…

That’s why I vibe as one cry awoken
Sippin’ a vape while drinkin’ the ceiling
Eyes wide shut, yet my neck feels a reelin’!
I can barely even ’member my name
I exist in a haze
(I exist to amaze…)
The faces around me, they’re tightenin’
The forces in front of us—(are they fightin’ me?)
Eyes wide shut, yet our world feels engirded!
’Cause the motherf*ckin’ river just birthed man
An ace of spades
In retrospect they say I was sealed into history
(A motherf*ckin’
Ace of spades)
As it stands now, how I might’s still a mystery
(I’m a motherf*ckin’
Ace of spades…)
