I'll be your loaded dice
You're holding all the cards
You set the tone whenever I'm with you
You make up all the rules
In this game of fools
I see your signals change
They go from green to red
It's always stop and go
When the colors are changing
Never let on, never let on
Look to the left, look to the right
Why can't you look me straight in the eye

(Chorus)

10-9-8
I'm always counting down
You feel the pressure when you're under the gun
6-5-4
I'm always counting down
Isn't it funny, I never get to one

I'll be your only chance
I play the only role
I go the distance whenever I'm with you
You make up all the rules
In this game of fools
You keep me in the dark
I'm walking on the wire
I'm on the edge
It's always my time for falling
Never let on, never let on
Look to the left, look to the right
Why can't you look me straight in the eye

(Chorus)
