This is the first song I've completed in a long time. The lyrics are about this poker tournament I participated in and this smoking hot chick sitting next to me started colluding with me as the tournament started. We were both kicking ass but before I could solidify a cash finish she baited me to go all-in with an almost guaranteed losing hand against a different player and I fell for it, hook, line, and sinker. As a result I was unceremoniously defeated and a heavy dose of inebriation hit my system before the night was over. Despite being a rather disappointing day nowadays I have to laugh at the irony of it all. This is an all-around really fun song.

Edit: Changed the pans in this song to make it more listenable through headphones.



Queen of Diamonds

Excuse me barkeep I'm a cooler and I've need of a drink
At the table I built a castle with the chips I won
I was on a roll when this foxy girl sat in my blinds
Thought it was love at first sight
Now I'm a broke man tonight
Guessing that she
Really loved me
I just gave her
Everything

Bartender make it a dry martini shaken not stirred
Can you count the chips in the grip of the chick
Who hustled and busted my game with style?
She screwed me hard then she hit the road wearing my shirt
Thought it was love at first sight
Now I'm a poor man tonight
Knowing that she
Really loved me (Hah!)

Maybe you have seen her too
Face just takes my breath away
Smoking thighs seductive eyes
And she struts with confidence with subtle hints
Wears a dress that lifts her chest
Hair drapes down a fine display
Just a warning for best or worse
How many guys do you think bust that girl?
