At the mercy of dice
But I am only once, not twice
But I am only once, not twice
But I am only once, not twice
Heard the timber creek and windows rattled gently
But a worried face soon comes over me
A soothing draft was all I had for company
Although we smiled, there were no words left to say
To break free of all conventions and comfort
At the mercy of dice
But I am only once, not twice
At the mercy of dice
We went to bed and turned the stereo on low
