Snake Eyes Lyrics

Snake eyes
Seven eleven
Don't let me down boys
Gimme
Snake eyes
Seven eleven
Don't let me down tonight
No don't let me down tonight

Just one minute more, Give me just one minute more
It's gonna be alright, It's gonna be alright

Just one minute more, Then I'll walk right through that door
It's gonna be alright, It's gonna be alright
If ya gimme

Snake eyes
Seven eleven
Don't let me down boys
Snake eyes
Seven eleven
Don't let me down tonight
No don't let me down tonight

Just one minute more, Then I'll walk right through that door
It's gonna be alright, It's gonna be alright
But'cha gotta
Gimme one more marker more
Then I'll walk right through that door
Gimme one more, don't let me down
It's gonna be alright, alright, alright

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

it's about gamblers who become hooked because they believe they will eventually win the jackpot, it becomes very hard for them to quit even though they tell themselves they will stop ("Just one minute more, Then I'll walk right through that door") Notice how the verses and choruses are exactly the same, as if we are in the mind of an addicted gambler who is constantly telling himself/herself over and over that they can win it and call it quits.
