Roll of the dice
Take a spin of the wheel
Out of your hands now
So how do you feel?
But you're not gonna win
You'd better go back again
Do you feel lucky
Or do you feel scared?
Take what luck brings
And the Devil may care
But you're down on your luck
What will the next day bring?

Adrift on the ocean
Afloat in a daydream
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?

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

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

Gate open to heaven
Is ready and waiting
Or straight down to hell
Can go there as well
I'll suffer my craving
My soul's not worth saving
So why don't you go?
Just leave well alone

Don't you think I'm a savior?
Don't you think I could save you?
Don't you think I could save your life?

Don't you think I'm a savior?
Don't you think I could save you?
Don't you think I could save your life?

Don't you think I'm a savior?
Don't you think I could save you?
Don't you think I could save your life?

Don't you think I'm a savior?
Don't you think I could save you?
Don't you think I could save your life? (Hmm)

Don't you think I'm a savior?
Don't you think I could save you?
Don't you think I could save your life?

Don't you think I'm a savior?
Don't you think I could save you?
Don't you think I could save your life? (Hmm)

Don't you think I'm a savior?

Don't you think I could save your life?

Don't you think I'm a savior?

Don't you think I could save your life?

Don't you think I'm a savior?
Don't you think I could save you?
Don't you think I could save your life? (Hmm)

Don't you think I'm a savior?
Don't you think I could save you?
Don't you think I could save your life?

Don't you think I'm a savior?

Don't you think I could save your life?

Don't you think I'm a savior?
Don't you think I could save you?
Don't you think I could save your life? (Hmm)

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

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

The Angel on one side
The Devil the other
Which path do you take
Decisions to make
Arrive at the crossroads
You know where you're going
And what if you wait
It may be too late

Don't you think I'm a savior?
Don't you think I could save you?
Don't you think I could save your life?

Don't you think I'm a savior?
Don't you think I could save you?
Don't you think I could save your life?

Don't you think I'm a savior?
Don't you think I could save you?
Don't you think I could save your life?

Don't you think I'm a savior?
Don't you think I could save you?
Don't you think I could save your life?

Don't you think I'm a savior?
Don't you think I could save you?
Don't you think I could save your life?

Don't you think I'm a savior?
Don't you think I could save you?
Don't you think I could save your life?

Don't you think I'm a savior?
Don't you think I could save you?
Don't you think I could save your life?

Don't you think I'm a savior?
Don't you think I could save you?
Don't you think I could save your life?

Don't you think I'm a savior?
Don't you think I could save you?
Don't you think I could save your life?

Don't you think I'm a savior?
Don't you think I could save you?
Don't you think I could save your life?

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
