Diceman from Golden Mile by Hereward Kaye

DICEMAN

Brother I was tired of being a lifelong loser
Never doing nothing you could give a name
Till chance smiled and made this beggar a chooser
I picked up a dice and invented a game

If it’s a one I’m a prowler, two I’m a user
Three I’m a tramp, who d’you wanna be?
Four’s a winner, five’s a loser, six is a number I don’t wanna see

Play the role of a diceman - why only live twice man
Play the role of a diceman - why only live twice man

Now I’ve lost my friends and I’ve lost my family
I’ve lost my job and my sanity
But you wouldn’t believe all the brothers and sisters
Living their lives out inside of me

Lay your options on the table, a sacrifice to the God of chance
Midday madness in a smoke glass tumbler
Let ‘em fly and watch them dance…

Play the role of a diceman - why only live twice man
Play the role of a diceman - why only live twice man

Well don’t give me that bull about a multiple me
My friends are just two-faced, I’ve got so many sides to free
Inside this sucker there’s a burning hotel
You got to open up, get ‘em out, there’s so many tales they could tell

If it’s a one I’m a prowler, two I’m a user
Three I’m a tramp, who d’you wanna be?
Four’s a winner, five’s a loser, six is a number I don’t wanna see

In the role of a diceman - why only live twice man
Play the role of a diceman - why only live twice man
