Lyrics to Loaded Dice

She's a roller of sevens and elevens

She can talk the stars out of the heavens

And she dances through the ruins just like a princess

Men have died for her kisses



And sometimes when I wake up in the morning

I sense her ghost on my pillow forming

Incense of imprints that leave me breathless

I can't take no more of this baby



[Chorus]

I can't take any more disappointments

I can't take any more disappointments, baby

I can see her sorting through her ointments

For shades of blue that make her tears look like

diamonds

Falling away, as she searches and prays, for words to

say

That keep me playing with her loaded dice



She's the kind of girl who thinks 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 looking for a better way



I'm losing touch with my senses

You got me measuring the fences

That surround your heart just like a palace

Just like the blood in a chalice



I don't know what to do with these feelings

Your punches have got me reeling

On the ropes groping for my corner

I'm your little Jack Horner baby



Chorus



She's a roller of sevens and elevens

She's a talk the stars out of the heavens baby
