Lyrics
A half-smoked Gauloises on the sill at Café Paris.
Tuesday, just past ten, and her hand is not his.
The check is paid in cash, a subtle, practiced sleight.
Just another weak pawn in a developing fight.
[Chorus]
And every piece you sacrifice
Just buys another night of lies.
It's an open file, a quiet fork,
A checkmate threat I can't ignore.

WHAT GOOD'S A KING YOU SAVE IF YOU LOSE THE WHOLE DAMN BOARD?
[Outro]
(Driving techno beat returns, sparse)
Her hand is not his.
The threat I can't ignore.
