There are unsmiling faces and bright plastic chains And a wheel in perpetual motion And they follow the races and pay out the gains With no show of an outward emotion And they think it will make their lives easier For God knows up 'til now it's been hard But the game never ends when your whole world depends On the turn of a friendly card No, the game never ends when your whole world depends On the turn of a friendly card There's a sign in the desert that lies to the west Where you can't tell the night from the sunrise And not all the King's horses and all the King's men Have prevented the fall of the unwise For they think it will make their lives easier And God knows up 'til now it's been hard But the game never ends when your whole world depends On the turn of a friendly card No, the game never ends when your whole world depends On the turn of a friendly card But a pilgrim must follow in search of a shrine As he enters inside the cathedral Snake eyes, seven eleven Don't let me down, boys Gimme snake eyes, seven eleven Don't let me down tonight No, don't let me down tonight Just one minute more, gimme just one minute more It's gonna be alright, it's gonna be alright Just one minute more, then I'll walk right through that door It's gonna be alright, it's gonna be alright If you gimme Snake eyes, seven eleven Don't let me down, now Gimme snake eyes, seven eleven Don't let me down tonight No, don't let me down tonight Just one minute more, gimme just one minute more It's gonna be alright, it's gonna be alright But you gotta Gimme one minute more, gimme one more, gimme one minute more It's gonna be alright, it's gonna be alright Snake eyes, seven eleven Don't let me down, boys Snake eyes, seven eleven Don't let me down tonight No, don't let me down tonight Just one minute more, then I'll walk right through that door It's gonna be alright, it's gonna be alright But you gotta Gimme one marker more Then I'll walk right through that door Gimme one more, don't let me down It's gonna be alright, alright, alright Nothing's good, the news is bad The heat goes on, and it drives you mad Scornful thoughts that fly your way You should turn away, 'cause there's nothing more to say You gave the best you had to give You only have one life to live You fought so hard, you were a slave After all you gave, there was nothing left to save You've got nothing left to lose (You've got nothing left to lose) No, you've got nothing left to lose (Who'd wanna be standing in your shoes?) You read the book, you turn the page You change your life in a thousand ways The dawn of reason lights your eyes With the key, you realize, to the kingdom of the wise You've got nothing left to lose (You've got nothing left to lose) No, you've got nothing left to lose (Who'd wanna be standing in your shoes?) Nothing ventured, nothing gained No more lingering doubt remained Nothing sacred or profane Everything to gain 'cause you've nothing left There are unsmiling faces in fetters and chains On a wheel in perpetual motion Who belong to all races and answer all names With no show of an outward emotion And they think it will make their lives easier But the doorway before them is barred And the game never ends when your whole world depends On the turn of a friendly card No, the game never ends when your whole world depends On the turn of a friendly card
