This Deadly Game - Steve Wynn

Polly said to Jack

«Baby I like your style

Would you step into my office

For a little while?

I’ve got a sugar-coated web

And a candy center»

I said «To know her

Is to defend her.»

Oh, it’s all or nothing

Queen of diamonds

And a second cousin

Come in, sign your name

For this deadly game

Babylon was

Draped in haze

And nobody

Had seen the night in days

She was dancing in a room

In a violet sweater

I said, «To know her

Is to regret her»

Oh, it’s now or never

Don’t think of me whenever

Someone has to take the blame

For this deadly game

Daddy won’t be home

Until a little later

And he’ll be looking

For his little instigator

Take whatever

Means are handy

To know me

Is to understand me

Oh, it’s not that easy

Immaculate but a little greasy

Sometimes they’re not the same

In this deadly game

Polly said to Jack

«Baby, I like your style

Would you step over here

For a little while?»

I said

«I'll see you later.»

To know her

Is to hate her

Oh, it’s time for action

A pile of words and a cool retraction

No time for shame

In this deadly game
