Dice Man, lyric by Fall, The

from the songs album Dragnet

I am the dice man
And i take a chance, huh
Do you take a chance, huh?



Where you two going?
Where you two going?
Is this a branch on the tree of showbusiness?



Do all these musicians
Have a social conscience?
Well, only in their front rooms



But i am the dice man
And i take a chance man
Do you take a chance, huh?



They stay with the masses
Don't take any chances
End up emptying ashtrays



But i push, push, push, push
Throw the bones and the poison dice
No time for small moralists



Cos i am the dice man
And i take a chance, huh
Do you take a chance, fan?



They say music should be fun
Like reading a story of love
But i wanna read a horror story
Where are you people going?
Where are you people going?
Is this a branch on the tree of showbusiness?



But i am the dice man
A balls-on-the-line man
Do you take a chance, baby?
