Ten Cards Short Songtext
von A Streetcar Named Denial

We met on a dreary September day
I don′t know how you found me
But I didn't play

I kept my cards close to my chest
Hiding a tribal
Of tall blonde messes

But caution to the wind
And big blue eyes
I was a means to an end

The whole world torn asunder
Seeing where you set the bar
Opened me to wonder
If I′m still up to par


A shadow falls upon me
As our minds flow back into port
You know it plainer than I see
I find myself ten cards short

I shuffled myself into your life
Ninety-eight plus one
Cut like a knife

Wrong place wrong time
You had your fun
Passions turn on a dime

Guess I wasn't your style
Or not strong enough
And you dropped me headfirst into exile

The whole world torn asunder
Seeing where you set the bar
Opened me to wonder
If I'm still up to par


A shadow falls upon me
As our minds flow back into port
You know it plainer than I see
I find myself ten cards short
