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 [maroonists.]

Cos I am the dice man

And I take a chance, huh

Do you take a chance, huh?

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?
