Eric Woolfson - Snake Eyes I lyrics
In a place where the sun has forgot to shine
And the moon has forgotten to rise
Where the faces are gray and they live just to play
And you won't see a light in their eyes
And the east could be west and the north could be south
And you can't tell your left from your right
But disaster is only a heartbeat away
And it's cold in the heat of the night
Lord Jesus, our Master
All-knowing, forgive us,
Set our spirits free
For the lights and the wine are the hook and the line
And the fish never seem to get wise
And the spider who's patiently spinning her web
Can be certain of catching some flies
Our Father, in heaven,
Almighty, holy
Turn our hearts to thee
One more, give me one more
Give me one more, just one marker
One more, give me one more
Give me one more, just one marker
Snake eyes, seven eleven
Don't let me down, boys
Gimme snake eyes, take me to heaven,
Don't let me down tonight
No, don't let me down tonight
Just one minute more,
And I'll walk right through that door
It's gonna be alright
You know it's gonna be alright
Just one minute more,
And I'll walk right through that door
It's gonna be alright
You know it's gonna be alright
Snake eyes, seven eleven
Don't let me down now
Gimme snake eyes, take me to heaven,
Don't let me down tonight
Just one minute more,
And I'll walk right through that door
It's gonna be alright
You know it's gonna be alright
Just one minute more,
And I'll walk right through that door
It's gonna be alright
You know it's gonna be alright
Snake eyes, seven eleven
Don't let me down, boys
Gimme snake eyes, take me to heaven,
Don't let me down tonight
No, don't let me down tonight
Halfway through the night I start remembering
Those half-forgotten words he used to say
But halfway through the night
He's always leaving you again
To play these stupid games he loves to play
Halfway through the night he's going to walk away
And leave you all alone to face the day
Nothing could replace
That God-forsaken place
And life that had to end halfway
Just one minute more,
And I'll walk right through that door
It's gonna be alright
You know it's gonna be alright
Gimme one marker more,
And I'll walk right through that door
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright
Snake eyes, seven eleven
Don't let me down, boys
Gimme snake eyes, take me to heaven,
Don't let me down tonight
No, don't let me down tonight
Just one minute more
And I'll walk right through that door
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright
You're gonna gimme one marker more,
And I'll walk right through that door
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright
Snake eyes, seven eleven
Don't let me down, boys
Gimme snake eyes, take me to heaven,
Don't let me down tonight
No, don't let me down tonight
Just one minute more
And I'll walk right through that door
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright
You're gonna gimme one marker more,
And I'll walk right through that door
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright
