Udo Devil's Dice
Jesus Christ was born like me in a stable His mom and dad did all that they were able How did they know which way he'd turn Didn't want to get their fingers burned To take which path from right or wrong He picked right and I picked wrong I see myself swinging in the gentle breeze Remembering girls and the way they teased Mama and papa saying this I tell We loved you boy but you're going to hell Roll the devil's dice - no second chance Roll the devil's dice - I did the dead-man's dance I did the dead-man's dance Ever since nine I was juvenile Stealing from pa - did petty crime Officer said for me no hope The only good thing for you's a rope Left me danging high and dry They picked my bones and the crows took flight I see myself swinging in the gentle breeze Remembering girls and the way they teased Mama and papa saying this I tell We loved you boy but you're going to hell Roll the devil's dice - my turn to cast Roll the devil's dice - and I got the six Roll the devil's dice - all three of them Roll the devil's dice - roll the devil's dice So here I am on judgement day with angels The Lord Jesus is reckoning the tables He said I know you, didn't take you long Been bad down there, didn't string along You know which way the righteous choose Gonna swing you high from the reaper's noose Roll the devil's dice - no second chance Roll the devil's dice - I did the dead-man's dance Roll the devil's dice - my turn to cast Roll the devil's dice - roll the devil's dice I did the dead-man's dance
