Bet this one is twice your age

Where this world ain't in your face
Afraid of love it always fades
You're takin' notes and nothing more
Roll the dice behind your shades
Take me where the action ain't
Roll the dice behind your shades
Roll the dice behind your shades
Safer way to be strange

'Cause their lips are moving

You and me, Carson McCullers
And you're sick to death of the latest rage

The avant-garde unlock the door
Come on roll the dice behind your shades
Open windows, open shutters
Take it to a higher plane

A guy snaps your picture on roller blades
Take it to a higher place
Bet this one is twice your age, oh
Roll the dice behind your shades
Come on, roll the dice behind your shades
The avant-gardes unlock your cage
Safest way to be strange

Everybody's trying to make you feel stupid
And you know they're lyin'
Come on, roll the dice behind your shades
