lyrics

I was working at The Daily Grind, a local publication
And beat down, down, down by all the steady nothing I'd been facing
When "BLAM" I see a fallen angel - how could I forsake her?
I'm gonna follow the signs - I've got a feeling this one's the breaker!
I said "Someone's gotta save her - get the plot right
Put her in the paper - in the spotlight
Worry about her later - angel? Not quite!"
Oh oh oh!
We've got Another Ace In The Hole!
It's such an opportunity!
It's gonna break my heart in three when she blows!
Suddenly my life got a little better
I'm the toast of town, but even still I just can't forget her
They say I made her into something special and she really owes me
But even I don't go for that bottle of phony bologna
You see...she wasn't even crying (you were cheating)...
Right - she wasn't flying (story sweetening)...
I lead a life of lying (through your teeth, man!)
Oh oh oh!
We've got Another Ace In The Hole!
It's such an opportunity!
It's gonna break my heart in three when she blows
Oh oh oh!
It was Another Ace In The Hole
And if I get to have my say I'm gonna make it go away
Oh oh oh!
It was Another Ace In The Hole!
It was written out of need
It was a hit so guaranteed
Oh oh oh!
It was Another Ace In The Hole!
And such an opportunity...
It's gonna break my heart in three when she blows!

EP 2
by Evil Arrows

supported by 34 fans who also own “Another Ace In The Hole”

Everything that Bryan Scary touches is musical gold... at first when he branched out from the Shredding Tears to do Evil Arrows I was heartbroken... but these songs are full of the solid power-pop brilliance that his earlier work exhibited, if a bit more guitar-driven. Wonderful stuff! Matthew Laurence
