John Wesley Harding & Elizabeth Barraclough - Pop

Covered Up in Aces

3 Plays

[Verse 1] The children of a transport blank A one-hand magazine Did you really think we could be the first ones? Your telephone starts ringing The balloon pops in your eyes Don't you put yourself into any spot not fun [Chorus] Covered up in aces, covered up in aces Covered up in aces, covered up in aces In aces [Verse 2] The doctor with a white coat on He's got the worker daddy blues It ain't what you need but how you can recover And too much loaded ain't enough Every roll's a cage It's just that some of them get a little cagier than others [Chorus] Covered up in aces, covered up in aces Covered up in aces, covered up in aces In aces [Bridge] And I've seen a million stones come down From up in outer space I've seen a man catch a red bus No eyes on his face I've seen a dumb and run out fast To build a railroad track This time 'round I'm getting out And never coming back [Chorus] Covered up in aces, covered up in aces Covered up in aces, covered up in aces [Verse 3] Spiral churches skinny finger points I crane my neck to see There ain't no sight quite like a good disaster It's a cutting board arrangement It's a well known natural fact That the best plans are no plans Has to be exact [Chorus] Covered up in aces, covered up in aces Covered up in aces, covered up in aces [Verse 4] Some nights when it's cold and black The headlights on the wall I feel the closest to how and why And in the spring I think I'll get me A brand new Triumph bike See how fast fast can go And do it to the sky [Chorus] Covered up in aces, covered up in aces Covered up in aces, covered up in aces I've been covered up in aces, covered up in aces Covered up in aces, covered up in aces
