Текст песни Suzanne Vega - Solitaire

Black on the red and red on black,
It's a tic of a tired mind.
Come and sit down.
Won't you try your luck
And see if you unwind?

Never use your 3's and 2's,
Follow superstition.
Otherwise you are going to lose,
Compulsion make you listen.

Take what's wrong and make it go right,
You can weave it like a prayer.
Wonder if you'll spend the night
Playing solitaire?

Do it again,
When you find you're all done
Like an idiot savant.
Shuffle up your luck,
You see, you almost won.
Now wrestle down what you want.

Jack on the Queen and the 10 on the Jack,
It's a happy repetition.
You and your fate in a kind of check-mate,
You are only competition.

Take what's wrong and make it go right,
You can weave it like a prayer.
Wonder if you'll spend the night
Playing solitaire?
