Paul Simon - Ace In The Hole Lyrics
Some people say Jesus that's the ace in the hole But I never met the man so l don't really know Maybe some Christmas if I'm sick and alone He will look up my number Call me on the phone and say : Hey, boy, where you been so long Don't you know me I'm your ace in the hole Two hundred dollars, that's my ace in the hole When I'm down, dirty and desperate That's my emergency bank roll (I got . . .) Two hundred dollars, that's the price on the street If you wanna get some quality That's the price you got to meet (and the man says...) Hey, Junior, where you been so long Don't you know me I'm your ace in the hole (talk about ace in the hole) Once I was crazy and my ace in the hole Was that I knew that I was crazy So I never lost my self-control I just walk in the middle of the road I sleep in the middle of the bed I stop in the middle of a sentence And the voice in the middle of my head said Hey, Junior, where you been so long Don't you know me I'm your ace in the hole (oh yeah) Ace in the hole Lean on me Don't you know me I'm your guarantee Riding on this rolling bus Beneath a stormy sky With a slow moon rising And the smokestacks driving by In the hour when the heart is weakest And the memory is strong When time has stopped But the bus just rolls along Roll on, roll on Roll on, roll on Roll on, roll on Some people say music that's their ace in the hole Just your ordinary rhythm and blues Your basic rock and roll You can sit on the top of the beat You can lean on the side of the beat You can hang from the bottom of the beat But you got to admit that the music is sweet Where you been so long Don't you know me l m your ace in the hole (oh yeah) Ace in the hole Lean on me Don't you know me I'm your guarantee Some people say music that's their ace in the hole Just your ordinary rhythm and blues Your basic rock and roll You can sit on the top of the beat You can lean on the side of the beat You can hang from the bottom of the beat But you gotta admit that the music is sweet Hey, Junior, I'm your ace in the hole Hey, Junior, I'm your ace in the hole Hey, Junior, I'm your ace in the hole Hey, Junior, I'm your ace in the hole
