Whether chance is good or bad, the pierrot falls back, so

Someplace safe from your pure eyes, I put up an act as fact, when

“In the brain, is that okay?” You saw my path, you caught my tracks, but

Even so, you see, you know, can’t claim you don’t understand that

Out there, in there, devils watch you everywhere

Make the move I wanted, like I want you

One pair? Two pairs? Full house? Wow, you’d really share?

Exposed, you’re so easy to see through

Ah...

Out of sight and out of mind, close both eyes so they’re gone with

“It’s away”, “Is that the case?” To quote from the fooled facade- Hey,

Aren’t those cards confusing? Mister Prince, admit to showing off! Yet,

“This’ll aid” You say, “The legs beneath me” and put it on while

“No wait, no way! They’re a fake, so call it!” Your conscience adds, but

When you try to say it then it’s too late, the time has passed- Yeah,

All the time, through day and night, this trickster I live as, though,

Even so, you see, you know, can’t claim you don’t understand that

Grade A, it’s a perfect crime, but anyway

Too built to kill me like I kill you

Lookin’ fake, go fake an alibi, my poker face

What are you? A good girl, that’s who!

Well played, glad I played Hana Ichi Monme*

Kiddin’ as I want to, like I want you**

Point trade? Card trade? Didn’t see one, gotta say

They’ve been stolen, the Joker and your clue

Lying face, why do you stay around?

Is it just to shut the shame left down?

Hey, figure it out!

Out there, in there, devils watch you everywhere

Make the move I wanted, like I want you

One pair? Two pairs? Full house? Wow, you’d really share?

Hand your hand and lay your ways bare!

Grade A, it’s a perfect crime, but anyway

Too much to love me like I love you

I’ll play my final play, but if your next could set me straight,

Score before my trump becomes the truth!

True mind? True drive? True, right?

Notes:

Considering that the entire song is themed around a game of Poker, I felt that it would be okay to keep Hana Ichi Monme in as a direct reference to the game rather than the meaning of the game’s title itself.
