Who was known his Hands
Hands running cons
Till his welcome was done
And the Games that he played
He paid for in Checks
Cheques that would bounce
Shortly after himself
'Cos Sticks was a man
Who was known for his hands
But a step ahead
And outta dodge
Before the Deck got too hot
See, he was good at his game
And never too greedy
Playing dealers for Blinds
And players for fools
To be Burnt in his trail
Taken in by his Bluff
'Cos when Jackie played his games
The deck always got too hot
Now he was a quiet one
So clever with his hands
But if ol' Sticks ever had a Tell
It was the Clubs he'd frequent
And the lies that he'd sell
Of riches not his own
Naming Diamonds of simple stone
If Jackie had a Tell
It was the broken Hearts
And hungry Spades
He left in his wake
Calling for his blood
And after his Take
If Jackie Sticks had a Tell...
So when they found him
Drowned at the River
Past his Float
To those who'd known him
To those who'd heard his tale
It came as no surprise
'Cos no hands in all the world
Can stop the wheel from turning
'Cos in the end a Free Ride
Aint really a Free Ride
You gotta choose
To Call
To Raise
To Fold
