I thought someone (ICNT?) had suggested Dangerous Game by Darryl Purpose as the best Blackjack song with a link to the video, but I couldn't understand the lyrics, so I spent time finding the lyrics, but when I returned, the post had vanished??? Here are the lyrics:
DANGEROUS GAME 4:07
Darryl Purpose and Robert Morgan Fisher
Columbo, Sri Lanka, two civil wars, One during the day, the other at night
I was counting cards at the house of risk, I was a little ahead, I was doing alright
Tapped on the shoulder, led to a room
He called it his office, but it felt like a tomb.
We were from different worlds, But there was no language barrier
He said "It’s a dangerous game you’re playing."
I said "I know one scarier."
Killington, Vermont, New Years eve, Passing on the left, passing on the right
Left my coat and helmet back at the bar,
There was ice on the road, there was ice on my bike
Cop pulled me over, top of the hill
I walked the line, I knew the drill
That’s when he gave me the lecture, The whole chapter and verse
He said "It’s a dangerous game you’re playing."
But I know one worse
Mercury, Nevada, Underground tests, Marchers with guns, marchers with signs
Nighttime hiking on a back country action
All the way to ground zero we climbed
Wackenhunts waiting in their ATV’s
Guns cocked and ready, tell us to freeze
They were protecting a bomb blast, Now, What could be stranger?
They said "It’s a dangerous game you’re playing."
But they don’t know from danger
Front porch, her house, 3AM, I’m feeling loose, door’s locked up tight
I reach for the doorbell, But then
I wander off into the middle of the night
She said don’t come back till you’ve made up your mind
But I let it drag out, play for more time
There was just one message, on my message machine
She said, "It’s a very dangerous game you’re playing."
I said, "I know."
