lyrics

TUMBLING DICE
(Patrick Rydman)

Gonna live my life
like tumbling dice
Gonna let chance rule
and I won’t think twice
‘cause there ain’t no use
making plans it seems
They end up in the bin
with all my broken dreams

Gonna bet on nothing
to pull me through
Looking back on my past
what am I to do

Whatever goal I was going for
I still wound up on the kitchen floor
Now I know I got no control
So look at me go
Letting it roll for a big surprise
Just like tumbling dice

Gonna spend my days
like a rolling stone
Gonna pull all the stops
and leave all reason alone
Even if I lose this crazy game
For all your schemes
you’re bound to end up just the same

Who calls the shots?
Well maybe no one’s there
It’s that single thought
that makes me so scared

Whatever goal I was going for…

So screw the sacred gurus
and the new philosophies
You won’t see me get down
on my knees
Can’t do more wishful thinking
Lady luck left me behind
I’d be better off losing my mind

Now if science says
we’re all just empty space
Then what’s the point in tryin’
to win this race

Whatever goal I was going for…

Gonna live my life like tumbling dice
