The curtains drawn, daylight banned From her small rented flat Morning ain’t her time of day So different from those midnight hours And the life that she led In bars and neon-lit cafes She’s only an shadow That will soon be turning grey Just an illusion that will Slowly fade awayT The queen of hearts only rules at night Moving on at the speed of light She knows her way around All cabarets in town
But she won’t dance The queen of hearts Deals a winning hand Plays her cards till the magic ends Just a face without a name All that matters is the Game of chance Till the morning comes At break of dawn luck will change With the edge of a knife Jack of spades will cut the dream But you know she’ll be back again At the wild side of life Making sure that she will be seen
