Snake Eyes
(album: Don´t Quit Your Day Job)
A tale of passion
that ends in misery
a tale of sex and sin and greed
I´m in this prison of my own insanity
and there´s no one i can blame but me
Tossed between the wreckage
and washed up on the shore
I swear i can´t beleive my eyes
Could i be mistaken
am i really here
have i found my paradise
the streets are paved in diamond
the wall are painted gold
and everybody knows my name
the girls are always gorgeous
and the drinks are always cold
i know i´ll never be the same
i swear we´ll live forever
and we´ll never have to cry
because no one here could ever die
The sun it sets like fire
stare into your eyes
I´ll never make it out alive
Turquoise water
connect me to the shore
of a land, a life left far behind
and i´ve got the memories burning deep inside
I´ll try to black them from my mind
A land of plenty
A land made just for me
Where i can´t help but feel at home
Until a man of darkness
a story he a told
of the only treasure i was yet to hold
i stood before the people
and demanded more, darkness
where sinners come to die
leaving Eden far behind
