Prince of Spades

Comin' back, comin' home
The Queen of Love enters the room
Silence ensues
Tell the King "What have you done to my life?
Did you take me for a fool or for a wife?"
I, I, I, I, I, I, I

The king is in his court
Countin' all his diamonds
One by one they do fall

Says the queen, "I've heard
The Prince of Spades is comin' home
Be nice if you could find some time alone
After all, he's in line for the throne."

And the king is in his court
Countin' all his diamonds
One by one they do fall
Oh, they do fall

So now, just get up off your ass
Leave all your treasures behind
Your son is comin' home with you to spend time
Show him how a good king should be
And don't ever forget the day
When you turn your back on him and me
And still I stay
Still I stay
