Take the Spade

Once I knew a boy who tried to believe

Wrote a few songs on Essex Green

But nobody listened

Nobody but me

Well, college hit quick, nine-to-five hit harder

Broke a few strings on his dad's guitar

For no one to fix it

Nobody but me

Singing, now that you got a taste

You promise to always seize the day?

Choose the cards, make a play

Now that you're on your way

You don't have to be afraid

Look at the cards

Look at the cards

Take the spade

Once I knew a boy finding his feet

Dreaming 'bout the days on Pinebluff Street

A birthday party

Nobody but me

Started rolling through the days he'd never seen before

So he turned it to a movie on his cam recorder

But nobody watched it

Nobody but me

Singing, now that you got a taste

You promise to always seize the day?

Choose the cards, make a play (oh, take the spade)

Now that you're on your way

You don't have to be afraid

Look at the cards

Look at the cards

Take the spade

Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo

Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo

Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo

Doo, doo

Take the spade
