suzie ungerleider - the prize lyrics

[verse 1]
in the house on albert street we all lived together
feral strays and runaways, black label and black leather
gathered round the tv set, fl!ckering like fire
and you a teenage oracle, or maybe just a liar

[verse 2]
g+nius with his gapped tooth grin and maggie’s perfect sneer
someone says, “let’s bomber up!”, then everyone would cheer
i was quiet on the couch, then i would catch your eye
bouncing back and forth between boredom and b+tterfliеs

[refrain]
you thought you knew the cards in my hand
but i was playing it cool like a man
much too tough to call our bluff to losе our hearts and win the prize

[verse 3]
i left the house on albert street and headed back to school
while you were fighting demons down inside the underworld
visions of your victims in the corners of your eyes
bouncing back and forth between valium and alibis

[refrain]
i never knew the cards in your hand
from playing it cool like a man
much too tough to call the bluff to lose our hearts and win the prize
[verse 4]
you were the rock inside my shoe, more criminal than rebel
the years have smoothed down all your edge, made a stone out of a pebble
when you showed up at the show i didn’t recognize
the one who sat in that back row until i saw the tears in your eyes

[refrain]
we never knew the cards in our hands
from playing it cool like a man
no longer tough we called our bluff, we lost our hearts and won the prize
no longer tough we called our bluff, we lost our hearts and won the prize
