Snake Eyes

I'm rolling the dice, I'm playing the game
At the end of the night, the money's the same
Convinced I'm a winner, I've thrown it all in
Watch me take my cash and knock back the gin

His hand on my shoulder, he's watching the chips
I show him my cards, he stacks on the risk
The dice cross the table, six winners came hard
Time's up, it's over, a change in the cards

Narcotics, psychotics, hypnotics, erotics
He minds your addiction, no antibiotics
No way to cure it, fall victim to blame
All part of his plan, gambling your name

Odds come, odds go, place bets, place hold
He beholds, blindfolds, and now you're bankrolled
Caught in the middle of his fiery blaze
You're getting screwed over and hazed

Tie my noose (I'll do it)
No can do (I'm through it)
Cut me loose (Fight to it)
Roll my dice

Snake eyes are burning into my skull
The stakes are up, I'm in over my head
Snake eyes are cutting into my eyes
He fills up his glass, it's all that I'm fed
Snake eyes are poisoning the well
It's a greed for him to agonize
Snake eyes are taking over my mind
They fall to the table, watch those snake eyes

Under his thumb my skin's turning green
A vision of death is all that I've seen
I slip from the table, I'm losing my grip
Floating away from the dealer's ship

This was my last bet, let go of the bones
The dice, the roll, the table, the floor
He laughs like a menace, no guilt behind teeth
Wait it's not over, I'm back from beneath

Hey vile serpent, this deal is not finished
I'm spinning your numbers, I'm back within inches
It's boxcars, it's midnight, it's 'bout two percent
You can play me your game but I'm here to torment

I'm coming up swinging, I've got no remorse
You're going to hell, there's a change in course
I'm taking my shot, I'm loading my gun
If history taught us anything, you can kill anyone

Tie my noose (I'll do it)
No can do (I'm through it)
Cut me loose (Fight to it)
Roll my dice

Snake eyes are burning into my skull
The stakes are up, I'm in over my head
Snake eyes are cutting into my eyes
He fills up his glass, it's all that I'm fed
Snake eyes are poisoning the well
It's a greed for him to agonize
Snake eyes are taking over my mind
They fall to the table, watch those snake eyes

Snake eyes are burning into my skull
The stakes are up, I'm in over my head
Snake eyes are cutting into my eyes
He fills up his glass, it's all that I'm fed
Snake eyes are poisoning the well
It's a greed for him to agonize
Snake eyes are taking over my mind
They fall to the table, watch those snake eyes
