Quicker Than the Eye Lyrics by Jim Foster

Power Lines

0

It's not the luck of the draw
It’s the way that you play your hand
When you're playin' it straight
And you’re playin' with a crooked man
He's got his hand up his sleeve
He thinks you look so naive
Oh, because the hand
Is quicker than the eye
It's a trick of the light
Any motion is out of your sight
Yes, the hand
Is quicker than the eye
If you take my advice
You won't blink twice
He'll have you stand in one place
While he leads you to a false conclusion
And when he's palmin' an ace
There’s no trace of his slight illusion
Hе’ll tell you lies that come truе
So he can prove them to you
Oh, because the hand
Is quicker than the eye
It's a trick of the light
Any motion is out of your sight
Yes, the hand
Is quicker than the eye
If you take my advice
You won’t blink twice
Don't blink twice
Is quicker than the eye
It's not the luck of the draw
It's the way that he plays his hand
And if you play it too straight
You’ll get aced by that crooked man
With all that taken to fool
He got the power to rule
Oh, because the hand
Is quicker than the eye
It's a trick of the light
Any motion is out of your sight
Yes, the hand
Is quicker than the eye
If you take my advice
You won't blink twice
Is quicker than the eye
It's a trick of the light
Any motion is out of your sight
Yes, the hand
Is quicker than the eye
Don't blink twice
Is quicker than the eye
It's a trick of the light
Is quicker than the eye
If you take my advice
You won't blink twice
Is quicker than the eye
Is quicker than the eye
Is quicker than the eye
Is quicker than the eye
