David Byrne - A Perfect Hand

They occupied our country
We were almost overrun
I knew if I did not react
They'd kill us, everyone

I promised to my mother
She meant so much to me
That for every single tear she shed
There'd be a victory
That for every single tear she shed
There'd be a victory
Who's holding aces? And
Who's gonna fold? And
Who's got a secret? And
Who's feeling bold? It's a
Winning combination if a
Lady understands that the
King and the queen of hearts
Could be a perfect hand. That the
King and the queen of hearts
Could be a perfect hand

So know what you are holding
But be prepared to bluff
There are many ways to win a game
But skill is not enough
There are many ways to win a game
But skill is not enough

Who's holding aces? And
Who's gonna fold? And
Who's got a secret? And
Who's feeling bold? It's a
Winning combination if a
Lady understands that the
King and the queen of hearts
Could be a perfect hand. That the
King and the queen of hearts
Could be a perfect hand
In the senate or in business
But most of all in love
You ladies all know how things work
You know how to get things done

And if you open the door for a lady
You open the door for yourself
And a stranger's only someone
That you have yet to help

Who's holding aces? And
Who's gonna fold? And
Who's got a secret? And
Who's feeling bold? It's a
Winning combination if a
Lady understands that the
King and the queen of hearts
Could be a perfect hand. That the
King and the queen of hearts
Could be a perfect hand
