Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Roll of the dice

Take a spin on the wheel

Out of your hands now

So how do you feel?

But you're not gonna win

You'd better go back again

[Verse 2]

Do you feel lucky

Or do you feel scared?

Take what luck brings

And be devil-may-care

But you're down on your luck

What will the next day bring?

[Verse 3]

Adrift on the ocean

Afloat in a day dream

Or lost in a maze

Or blind in the haze

So what does it matter?

So why don't you answer?

So why did you send

An angel to mend?

[Verse 4]

Best make decisions

Before it's too late

Take all your chances

Take hold of the reins

A roll of the dice

Ahead of the game again

[Verse 5]

Nothing to lose

But so much to gain

A little danger

It goes without saying

But what do you care

You're gonna go in the end

[Verse 6]

Gate open to Heaven

Is ready and waiting

Or straight down to Hell

Can go there as well

[Verse 7]

I'll suffer my craving

My soul's not worth saving

So why don't you go?

Just leave well alone

[Verse 8]

Don't you think I'm a saviour?

Don't you think I could save you?

Don't you think I could save your life?

[Verse 9]

Don't you think I'm a saviour?

Don't you think I could save you?

Don't you think I could save your life?

[Verse 10]

Don't you think I'm a saviour?

Don't you think I could save you?

Don't you think I could save your life?

[Verse 11]

Don't you think I'm a saviour?

Don't you think I could save you?

Don't you think I could save your life?

[Verse 12]

Don't you think I could save you?

Don't you think I could save your life?

Don't you think I could save you?

Don't you think I could save your life?

[Verse 14]

Don't you think I'm a saviour?

Don't you think I could save you?

Don't you think I could save your life?

[Verse 15]

Don't you think I'm a saviour?

Don't you think I could save you?

Don't you think I could save your life?

[Verse 16]

Don't you think I could save your life?

[Verse 19]

Don't you think I'm a saviour?

Don't you think I could save you?

Don't you think I could save your life?

[Verse 20]

There's like a hunger

That knocks on your door

You've had a taste of it

Still you want more

You've made your mistakes

Won't play it the same again

[Verse 21]

You have been warned

But still you plunge in

You play high stakes

But there's nothing to win

You've only one life

And so many things to learn

[Verse 22]

The Angel on one side

The Devil, the other

Which path do you take?

Decisions to make

[Verse 23]

Arrive at the crossroads

You know where you're going

And what if you wait

It may be too late

[Verse 24]

Don't you think I'm a saviour?

Don't you think I could save you?

Don't you think I could save your life?

[Verse 25]

Don't you think I'm a saviour?

Don't you think I could save you?

Don't you think I could save your life?

[Verse 26]

Don't you think I'm a saviour?

Don't you think I could save you?

Don't you think I could save your life?

[Verse 27]

Don't you think I'm a saviour?

Don't you think I could save you?

Don't you think I could save your life?

[Verse 28]

Don't you think I could save you?

Don't you think I could save you?

Don't you think I could save your life?

[Verse 29]

Don't you think I'm a saviour?

Don't you think I could save you?

Don't you think I could save your life?

Don't you think I could save your life?

[Verse 33]

Don't you think I'm a saviour?

Don't you think I could save you?

Don't you think I could save your life?
