Devil's Dice Lyrics - Singles - U. D. O.

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 is the 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 judgment 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
