Tom Odell - Queen Of Diamonds lyrics

The casino floor is full of men so frightened Trying to make a pay Yeah, we win or lose we know just how our night ends Gonna throw it all away Oh, but suddenly you draw the queen of diamonds And everyone around you turns to silence Another reason, yeah, to keep on smiling for a change Change, for a change When you think of all those gifts that you might give her Just trying to make her stay And you remember all that love she carried with her Before you gambled it away Like a bitter, cheap champaign But now that's history, you've drawn the queen of diamonds There'll be limousines and caribbean islands You can't wait to see her standing there just smiling For a change, change, for a change What a cruel, cruel game And these dreams you dream they bring you your ambition And those whiskey drings they give you your ambition While the bar lady is just one for their commission But it doesn't stop a s**er like you wishing it away Oh, you better be drawing the queen of diamonds There'll be limousines and caribbean islands You can't wait to see her standing there just smiling For a change, change, for a change What a cruel, cruel shame Oh, you better be drawing the queen of diamonds There'll be limousines and caribbean islands I can't wait to see her standing there just smiling For a change, change, for a change
