Description
An excited body filled every last seat, but not a single person actually sat in any one of them as the lights slowly dimmed. Every eye in the place remained affixed to a single ball of fire ablaze in the night sky far above the Cosmos Amphitheater. They loved his entrances; the crowd’s anticipation fed on itself, expecting the explosion of his presence, his very self on the stage before them.
Lyrics
Ante Up So you think you’ve learned to play this game You learned the tricks around all the rules On your mark, get set your deal your fame awaits in time & you’re no fool Chorus: You gotta ante up if you wanna chance to win You gotta ante up if you wanna a chance to play You gotta ante up because win, lose or draw You gotta ante up, no runnin’ away How many times has your bluff been called With a handful of nothin’ but pocket change How many times has your luck been stalled ’Cause the lady just don’t even remember your name Chorus: You gotta ante up if you wanna chance to win You gotta ante up if you wanna a chance to play You gotta ante up because win, lose or draw You gotta ante up, no runnin’ away Listen here boy, this sure ain’t no nickel & dime And the rules keep changin’ all the time Take your heart in your hand when you lay your money down And you play ’cause it’s the only game in town So the King of Hearts will show his face And the time has come to bet or fold Then you know you’ll draw just one more ace And your hand in life is hot not cold Chorus: You gotta ante up if you wanna chance to win You gotta ante up if you wanna a chance to play You gotta ante up because win, lose or draw You gotta ante up, no runnin’ away
