"Call Your Bluff" from the album "Worth Fighting For" by Act of Congress (click here for website)

A game of chess
A game we play
I can't trust
A word you say
The stakes are high
The truth you've concealed

 
A gamble of lies on a roulette wheel
Spinning down,
As the chips being to thrive
The Queen of Hearts-
A believable disguise

 
You bide in your time,
Tryin' to work it out
Don't know if I'll ever feel sure enough
'Cause I'm placing my bet
On a house made of cards,
Putting all in to call you bluff
(Hmm hmm hmm)

 
Your mouth says "yes"
Your eyes read "no"
I drummed a sigh
You simply fold your arms,
As a dish rolls in your eye
Your luck's wearing thin
And your conscience left to die

 

You bide in your time,
Tryin' to work it out
Don't know if I'll ever feel sure enough
'Cause I'm placing my bet
On a house made of cards,
Putting all in to call you bluff
(Hmm hmm hmm)

 
The cards have been dealt
The die has been cast
And odds are slim
That this chance will last
(It won't last)

 
Ooh, now I know
I'll never feel sure enough

 
'Cause I'm placing my bet
On a house made of cards,
Putting all in to call you bluff

 
(Hmm hmm hmm)
