Schwa Lyrics

Roll the Dice

Lyricist: Eric Sargent
Vocalist: Eric Sargent

Livin’ on the streets of paradise
A Red Stripe in your hand
You Light one up and hang ‘em high
Eyes wide livin’ like a sharp dressed man
You say you’re gonna buy that woman something nice
Like maybe diamonds

You got cash  you’re gonna place your bet    
They’re all swayin in your breeze
Stone cold stares while you’re jumpin on the jet
Fishin’ for fun times to catch and release
You say you wanna buy that woman paradise
Like this whole island

They might know the cost but not the price
What they won’t see comin’ is a snake bit woman
But they still wanna roll the dice


Walkin’ on the edge's gonna get you yet
Even in those shiny shoes
Already been as good as it’s gonna get 
A six pack in a game that’s made for two

You say you wanna give that girl a big surprise
Like maybe China

They might know the cost but not the price
What they won’t see comin’ is a snake bit woman
But they still wanna roll the dice

Smellin like a rose growing through the weeds
You’re just too good to be bad
(but) Hustlin’s left you busted on your feet	
So you lie with the dogs and chase the cat
You say you’re gonna buy that woman everything
Like maybe the sky

They might know the cost but not the price
What they won’t see comin’ is a snake bit woman
But they still wanna  roll the dice
