Loaded Dice Lyrics

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
