I was working at The Daily Grind, a local publication,

And beat down, down, down by all the steady nothing I'd been facing.

When "BLAM" I see a fallen angel - how could I forsake her?

I'm gonna follow the signs - I've got a feeling this one's the breaker!



I said "Someone's gotta save her,

Get the plot right,

Put her in the paper,

In the spotlight,

Worry about her later -

Angel not quite!"



Oh oh oh!

We've got Another Ace In The Hole!

It's such an opportunity!

It's gonna break my heart in three when she blows!



Suddenly my life got a little better

I'm the toast of town, but even still I just can't forget her.

They say I made her (she made me) into something special and she really owes me.

But even I don't go for that bottle of phony bologna.



You see... she wasn't even crying (flying) (you were cheating)...

Right (of course), she wasn't flying (crying) (story sweetening)...

I lead a life of lying (through your teeth, man!)



Oh oh oh!

We've got Another Ace In The Hole!

It's such an opportunity!

It's gonna break my heart in three when she blows.



Oh oh oh!

It was Another Ace In The Hole.

And if I get to have my say I'm gonna make it go away.

(Oh baby!)



Oh oh oh!

It was Another Ace In The Hole!

It was written out of need.

It was a hit so guaranteed.

(You said it)



Oh oh oh!

It was Another Ace In The Hole!

And such an opportunity...

It's gonna break my heart in three when she blows.

When she blows!
