Dirty Dice Lyrics

Got an angel, on one shoulder
And a devil on the other
And it's his good advice that I take
I live with a sprinkle of a little sin
When the world is asleep I'm awake

With the roll of my dirty dice
I'm only following the devil's advice
I'll take your love and leave my kind regards
But I never cheat at cards

So you really think you're leading
When we tango across the floor
It's only 'cause my feet are out of sight
Mine is the hand that spins you round
Then it pushes you out into the night

With the roll of my dirty dice
I'm only following the devil's advice
I'll take your love and leave my kind regards
But I never cheat at cards

With the roll of my dirty dice
I'm only following the devil's advice
I'll take your love and leave my kind regards
But I never cheat at cards, ooh

Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh-ahh

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.
