Loaded Dice

She's a roller of sevens and elevens
She could talk the stars out of the heavens
She dances through the ruins just like a princess
Men have died for her kisses
Sometimes when I wake up in the morning
I sense a ghost from my pillow formin'
Imprints of incense leavin' me breathless
I can't take no more of this baby
I can't take any more disappointments
I can't take any more disappointments, baby
I can see her sun through her ointments
Shades of blue that make her tears look like diamonds
Fallin' away
As she searches and prays
For words to say
That keep me playin' with loaded dice
She's the kind of girl that makes love
Flies on the wings of a velvet dove
But I know that she's wrong 'cause you know what they say
Love's just lookin' for a bet to wage
Now I'm losin' touch with my senses
You got me measurin' the fences
That's around your heart just like a palace
Just like love in a chalice
I don't know what to do with these feelins
Your punches have got me reelin'
I'm on the ropes gropin' for my corner
I'm the Little Jack Horner, baby
I can't take any more disappointments
I can't take any more disappointments, baby
I can see her sun through her ointments
Shades of blue that make her tears look like diamonds
Fallin' away
As she searches and prays
For words to say
That keep me playin' with loaded dice
She's a roller of sevens and elevens
She could talk the stars out of the heavens, baby
