lyrics

The Queen of Hearts
Poised all alone
Scoffs at all the Jokers
Who carry her throne
Eye on the Jack of Diamonds
Her deceitful Knave
But it’s the Ace of Spades
Who digs her grave

Uh uh, yeah yeah, now shush
Ooh ooh, yeah yeah
Play the rush

Steady your nerves
Keep your cool in the heat
Losing means you’re winning
'Cause you’ll sit at my feet
Lay your heart on the table
You’re going all in
Play the Dirty Dark Lady
Let the high stakes begin

Uh uh, yeah yeah, now shush
Ooh ooh, yeah yeah
Play the rush

Cocktails glisten
The smoke is sweet
Loosen up your tie
Drink your whiskey neat
Ride or die daddy
On a hot summer night
It’s a trick taking game
If ya play me right

Uh uh, yeah yeah, now shush
Ooh ooh, yeah yeah
Play the rush

Diamonds, furs
And a trail of gin
Greed, lust, envy
Are your cardinal sins
A slippery style
And a femme' fatale
Au revoir, adios
Bottoms up, ciao, ciao

Uh uh, yeah yeah, now shush
Ooh ooh, yeah yeah
Play the rush

Cocktails glisten
The smoke is sweet
Loosen up your tie
Drink your whiskey neat
Ride or die daddy
On a hot summer night
It’s a trick taking game
If ya play me right

Uh uh, yeah yeah, now shush
Ooh ooh, yeah yeah
Play the rush

about

Kerry Pastine and the Crime Scene Denver, Colorado

"Kerry Pastine & the Crime Scene's songs should be in Quentin Tarantino movies. There’s a fierceness in the band’s energetic live shows; the musicians clearly feed off of each other."
- Jon Solomon - Westword Feature Article

"The vintage tones swing and punch – like early ‘60s Wanda Jackson possessing a young Joan Jett as backed by the Stray Cats."
- Eric Shea - Pandora Pick of the Week
