Lyrics "Holding all the Cards" I heard the phone ring It was the suicide king I didn't do a thing I didn't pick it up But I know why he called and now he's got my number I better play it straight I better not stay up late (Bridge) It's really not that hard I will laugh (cry) myself apart I will play the hand I'm dealt I hope I get some winners A little bit of logic, a little bit of art Who put me in charge? I'm holding all the cards (Chorus) I'm holding all the cards... Would you look at that? I drew the one eyed jack Only needs one eye to see Through all my hope and greed The other eye is closed Impotently dreaming Of a quiet vague place Where I can show my face (Bridge) (Chorus) Where are you queen of hearts? Did I lose the lost art? Of smiling through my fears Losing track of the years I spend my quiet days Playing solitaire and cheating But I really can't pretend I don't know how that ends (Bridge) (Chorus) Words and music by Cecily Jones Copyright 4 Track Phantoms 2021

Lyrics "Nothing to Talk About" Maybe we're trying too hard Maybe we went too far You don't have to stay in my life We just got nothing to talk about You don't see me smile And I'm getting ready to live without (chorus) It will never be the way it was before There's nothing to talk about anymore We're not enemies, but we're not friends There's nothing to talk about cause this is the end I'm gonna run away Please don't torture your mind There's never a reason to blame We just got nothing to talk about It wasn't a waste of our time But look at the heartache we could live without (chorus) When are we gonna get tired When has the damage been done We don't mean what we say We just got nothing to talk about Take a look at my face - for the last time It's me, baby, you could live without (chorus) Words and music by Cecily Jones Copyright 4 Track Phantoms 2021

Lyrics "Letter" I'm writing you a letter in my head I'll give it to you when you're dead When I figure out what to say I'll say it to your grave I'll capture how I feel and wonder if it's real might just keep it to myself I'll never tell I'm writing you a letter in my head I'll bring it to your deathbed When it can't get any worse I'll tell you where it hurts And all the times I cried Wanting you by my side My last chance and if I don't You'll never know I'm writing you a letter in my head Not everything's been said and when the time is right I want to and I might Feel your love again if only to pretend we're in a better place we dropped out of the race Copyright 4 Track Phantoms 2021

Lyrics My sin, my sin is done and it won't be forgiven I'm gone, I'm gone, gone where the wild people living Gone where the wild, wild people living So long alone, close to the bone They kill the messenger they kill the tax man waiting in line they kill the passenger where the train and the taxi collide A holiday has come My mind has escaped into hiding I've shot away my life Out where the wild people riding Out where the wild, wild people riding So long alone, close to the bone Mama, mama please please don't kill the messenger man Mana, mama please please don't kill the passenger man On Saturday I'm sick Sick with a virus descending Burn Sunday to the quick To the quick with a match on a mile long stick My sin, my sin is done and it won't be forgiven I'm gone, I'm gone, gone where the wild people living Gone where the wild, wild people living So long alone, close to the bone Mama, mama please please don't kill the messenger man Mama, mama please please don't kill the passenger man
