Picture me counting cards, dear, pick any kind you like
Picture them colored red, dear, black will hold back the light
For the stars in our eyes are just diamonds, broke
Jokes we tell to laugh, dear, laugh to hold back the pain
Pain is in the mind, dear, stars are much the same
Gone in the time it takes the light to reach
In time you'll find we're blind to the things we don't believe
Picture us out in Vegas counting bills before a show
Spending em from New Orleans where we spent the week before
And the stars in our eyes are the lights from the flash
Pictures of us in black, dear, rolling on the red
Carpets laid on concrete counting billboards where we've read
That the stars of our minds shine bright in the dark
Like diamonds, diamonds
Hearts in our cards and our silver strung guitars say hear me when I call, hear me when I come in late
You're wide awake, I'm sorry is not enough, I'm sorry I'm not enough to stay
Faded by, in time with the back of your bed am I that lever you take, that lever you hold
Faded by, in time with the back of your bed am I that levy you break, that levy you hold
Paint me red, paint me red, picture that, picture that
Picture us and God shaking hands just because we can
Like DMC we run this shit, Run DMC what's tricky to get we got
Watch me murder this, watch me murder this
Planes fly due west, and plain in my view is the blame for the fault in our stars, counting cards in the dark
We sit and talk, bleeding it out, believing that all our stars are just diamonds
Hearts in our cards and our silver strung guitars say hear me when I call, hear me when I come in late
You're wide awake, I'm sorry is not enough, I'm sorry I'm not enough to stay
Faded by, in time with the back of your bed am I that lever you take, that lever you hold
Faded by, in time with the back of your bed am I that levy you break, that levy you hold
Faded by, in time with the back of your bed am I that lever you take, that lever you hold
Faded by, in time with the back of your bed am I that levy you break, that levy you hold
Picture me counting cards, dear, picture me counting cards
