Text: Sarah Slean. Blue Parade. Playing Cards With Judas.

Playing Cards with Judas in the lounge of our hotel
And I ask while we?re playing if he likes it there in hell
Judas doesn?t answer, he just laughs and plays his hand
Lights another cigarette and turns toward the band

I have no missionary zeal I say
No armies fighting sin
But I?ll keep playing, I?ll keep playing
Until I win

I always loved the blues he says
from behind that grin
I stack and deal them again
Your friends have good intentions,
But they?re a thousand years too late
A few buildings and commandments
Won?t save you from your fate.

I have no missionary zeal I say
I don?t believe in sin
But I?ll keep playing, I?ll keep playing
Until I win
