lyrics

I was the king of poker night until that day
When he arrived in town; took my crown away.
Sat at the table, and within the nick of time,
Won every hand, cleaned me out of my last dime.

I keep waiting for the day when Ben folds.
I know he never will.
I thought I had a good hand; his was better still.
I'm waiting for the day Ben folds, it's impossible it seems.
But it would be the best day of my life
even if it's in my dreams- when Ben folds.

He could have a royal flush or just a pair of queens.
He has no tell, he's half man and half machine.
Don't know why we keep inviting him to play with us.
All I know is now I have no car, I ride the bus.

But I keep waiting for the day when Ben folds.
And I know he never will.
I thought I had a good hand; his was better still.
I'm waiting for the day Ben folds, it's impossible it seems.
But it would be the best day of my life
even if it's in my dreams- when Ben folds.

I keep thinking some day I'll be back on top again.
Hoping against hope- That's the best that's ever been folds.

Ben folds. I know he never will.
Thought I had a good hand; his was better still.
I'm waiting for the day ben folds, it's impossible it seems.
But it would be the best day of my life
even if it's in my dreams- when Ben folds.
