LYRICS
Rolling The Dice
Sitting on the tarmac getting ready to roll
Didn’t sleep a wink the whole night before
Wondering how they get this chunk of metal in the sky
And all I wanna do is pull my shade down and die
I get tired sometimes but it’s that kind of game
I made my bed and I’m lying in it every day
It could be worse I know it could
But I can’t tell you it’s bad when it’s good, so I say
For rolling the dice, it’s the price I pay
Sometimes wish I’d never learned to play the guitar
Then I turn around and see the size of my car
And if the truth be known I’m not a hit with the girls
Cos it’s murder living up to all the stories they’ve heard
I’m just an ordinary guy with a strange old job
Getting paid to behave like a juvenile slob
Nobody takes me seriously, guess that’s the way it was meant to be
Like I say, for rolling the dice, that’s the price I pay
I never used to worry what the future would bring
But how long can I really keep on doing my thing?
I’ll be like an addict trying to quit his stuff
Cos it’s sad but it’s true, it’s a labour of love
Guess I’ll have to retire to the South of Spain
Teeing off with the wife I’d forget about the rain
Some glamorous death ain’t the way for me
I’d rather be a slave to infirmity
So I say, for rolling the dice, that’s the price I pay
