Jesus Christ was born like me in a stable
His mom and dad did all that they were able
How did they know which way he´d turn
Didn´t want to get their fingers burned
To take which path from right or wrong
He picked right and I picked wrong

I see myself swinging in the gentle breeze
Remembering girls and the way they teased
Mama and papa saying this I tell
We loved you boy but you´re going to hell

Roll the devil´s dice - no second chance
Roll the devil´s dice - I did the dead-man´s dance
I did the dead-man´s dance

Ever since nine I was juvenile
Stealing from pa - did petty crime
Officer said for me no hope
The only good thing for you´s a rope
Left me danging high and dry
They picked my bones and the crows took flight

I see myself swinging in the gentle breeze
Remembering girls and the way they teased
Mama and papa saying this I tell
We loved you boy but you´re going to hell

Roll the devil´s dice - my turn to cast
Roll the devil´s dice - and I got the six
Roll the devil´s dice - all three of them
Roll the devil´s dice - roll the devil´s dice

So here I am on judgement day with angels
The Lord Jesus is reckoning the tables
He said I know you, didn´t take you long
Been bad down there, didn´t string along
You know which way the righteous choose
Gonna swing you high from the reaper´s noose

Roll the devil´s dice - no second chance
Roll the devil´s dice - I did the dead-man´s dance
Roll the devil´s dice - my turn to cast
Roll the devil´s dice - roll the devil´s dice
I did the dead-man´s dance
