Temptation Dice
People are always saying how do you do, to you
And they don't know what's on your mind
You'll get fat running on the beaten track
'Cause dice can change your mind
Well, I rolled it a long the floor one night
And have you ever been a bad, bad man?
Caught up in the beat, she had the devil's dancing feet
And as the tears flew to lover's eyes
The same thing happens every morning
And I know the reason why
The sun goes down and the council lights go on
And everybody's sky high with sedatives and authority to cry
And people are always saying how do you do to me
They need to speak what's on their mind
You roll the dice and you don't think twice
If this can change your life
Well, I rolled a high and it made me feel alive
I tell you man, I nearly died
It made me think what's worse broken promise or my bones
And the bruising of my pride knocked me off my side
Same thing happens every evening
And I know the reason why
The sun goes down and the council lights go on
And everybody's left standing round the fire with the same old song
You've got to change
You've got to change
You've got to change
You've got to change
Don't let them tell you that you don't matter
Life's more than a chip shop wrapper
And then they don't like what you do
And people are always saying how do you do to me
But they don't know what's on my mind
You'll get fat running on the beaten track
This dice can change your life
And my distress is overshadowed with every evening
And now I've found the will to try
The master of disaster left the room the morning after
That boy has risen away today
Now the sun comes up and now the weekends at your feet
Son, this life served you up one hell of a treat
We roll, we dance, we duck, we dive, we twist and tilt
We roll, we dance, we duck, we twist and tilt
We roll, we dance, we duck, we twist and tilt
(And I'll never do the dance of guilt again)
We roll, we dance, we duck, we twist and tilt
(You're my best friend)
We roll, we dance, we duck, we twist and tilt
(Oh, you're my best friend)
We roll, we dance, we duck, we twist and tilt
(Oh, you're my best friend)
We roll, we dance, we duck, we twist and tilt
(Oh, you're my best friend to the bitter end)
We roll, we dance, we duck, we twist and tilt
