A-Jigsaw - The wrong deal Lyrics

The Wrong Deal
Letra & música: John Mercy, João Ricardo Guerra da Silva

It takes more than a clever man to fool the devil with words
Once you get yourself into the red book, there is no turning back
And remember, it was you who called on me my friend

There is no trickery here, for I kept my end of this bargain,
And sure enough you're still there
But the love you so desired, this contract thee forbids
And remember, it was you who called on me
Did you think that I would ever walk into the wrong deal?

Every night I've come to this garden to make you keep your word
Why are you on your paws and knees
Oh It takes more than a prayer to break a pact made in blood
And 'tis an old oath you pledged, to keep yourself alive
So don't go thinking you have my sympathy
And don't go and make me your enemy
Keep your mouth shut and pray I'm still your friend

I remember now this rose I left my love to keep
And it burns through my snout, this shrouded memory
My knees tremble as I recall your treachery
Oh remember, it was you who called on me my friend

You promised me in death I'd see my love alive
With a sleight of hand you caged me, burning with desire
Forsaken and cursed by the heaven's gate
Oh devil, devil, what have you done?
Don't go thinking you have my sympathy
You've gone and made me your enemy
Keep your mouth shut and trust I'm not your friend
Did you think that I would ever walk into the wrong deal?
