right about now your wishing for that big parade
right about how it's just a story that your mind just made
all about how the future's brighter when the past just fades
there used to be diamonds in your pocket;
now your looking for spades

and I'd be careful if I were you
Mr. Saturday when your weekend's through
you keep walking the line that you once drew
careful Saturday, Sunday's made her mind up too.

right about here you remember how a flush could feel
right about when you were sitting pretty thinking she'll
be all about your stupid wishes and your right to steal
all of the diamonds in her pocket now how does it feel

and it's not up to you... anymore
time to show or fold or find the door
and it's not up to you... anymore
she don't do what she's told anymore

and it's not in the cards that draw you
and it's not in your house that fell
and it's not in the game they saw through
but you played so goddamn well
but it's not in the hand you held out
and it's not what you went back for
and it's not what you had counted on
and it's not up to you, anymore..
