Roll the dice man, don’t think twice, that’s the message I’ve received
Throw your pennies at your problems, you will be relieved
Make a wish or two or three
You may win or you may lose, but doubtless you’ll feel free
So I took this guitar down to the crossroads and waited around
When the devil didn’t turn up, I threw some money down
“Will anyone please tune this thing for me?
“I took some lessons but they wouldn’t teach me to play free”
Yes I’m looking for temptation, and I’m willing to pay the price
But it’s tougher than I’d expected to follow my own advice
Why won’t old Nick Shadow come and find me?
I’m bored with being boring, need to find some sin to set me free
Yes I rolled the dice, did not think twice, and I came out about the same
Everything is as it was before I played the game
I wish for lust and longing, I wish for infamy
I wish for anyone or anything to show me how to be free
