The Angel and the Gambler Lyrics

[Verse 1}
Roll of the dice
Take a spin of the wheel
Out of your hands now
So, how do you feel?
But you're not gonna win
You'd better go back again

[Verse 2]
Do you feel lucky
Or do you feel scared?
Take what luck brings
And be devil-may-care
But you're down on your luck
And what will the next day bring?

[Pre-Chorus]
Adrift on the ocean
Afloat in a daydream
Or lost in a maze
Or blind in the haze
So, what does it matter?
So, why don't you answer?
So, why did you send
An angel to mend?

[Verse 3]
Best make decisions
Before it's too late
Take all your chances
Take hold of the reins
A roll of the dice
Ahead of the game again

[Verse 4]
Nothing to lose
But so much to gain
A little danger
It goes without saying
But what do you care?
You're gonna go in the end

[Pre-Chorus]
Gate open to heaven
Is ready and waiting
Or straight down to hell
Can go there as well
I'll suffer my craving
My soul's not worth saving
So, why don't you go?
Just leave well alone

[Chorus]
Don't you think I'm a saviour?
Don't you think I could save you?
Don't you think I could save your life?
Don't you think I'm a saviour?
Don't you think I could save you?
Don't you think I could save your life?
Don't you think I'm a saviour?
Don't you think I could save you?
Don't you think I could save your life?
Don't you think I'm a saviour?
Don't you think I could save you?
Don't you think I could save your life?
Mmm

[Chorus]
Don't you think I'm a saviour?
Don't you think I could save you?
Don't you think I could save your life?
Don't you think I'm a saviour?
Don't you think I could save you?
Don't you think I could save your life?
Mmm
Don't you think I'm a saviour?
Don't you think I could save you?
Don't you think I could save your life?
Don't you think I'm a saviour?
Don't you think I could save you?
Don't you think I could save your life?

[Chorus]
Don't you think I'm a saviour?
Don't you think I could save you?
Don't you think I could save your life?
Mmm
Don't you think I'm a saviour?
Don't you think I could save you?
Don't you think I could save your life?
Don't you think I'm a saviour?
Don't you think I could save you?
Don't you think I could save your life?
Don't you think I'm a saviour?
Don't you think I could save you?
Don't you think I could save your life?

[Instrumental Break: 5:38-6:25]]

[Verse 5]
There's like a hunger
That knocks on your door
You've had a taste of it
Still, you want more
You've made your mistakes
Won't play it the same again

[Verse 6]
You have been warned
But still, you plunge in
You play high stakes
But there's nothing to win
You've only one life
And so many things to learn

[Pre-Chorus]
The angel on one side
The devil the other
Which path do you take?
Decisions to make
Arrive at the crossroads
You know where you're going
And what if you wait?
It may be too late

[Chorus]
Don't you think I'm a saviour?
Don't you think I could save you?
Don't you think I could save your life?
Don't you think I'm a saviour?
Don't you think I could save you?
Don't you think I could save your life?
Don't you think I'm a saviour?
Don't you think I could save you?
Don't you think I could save your life?
Don't you think I'm a saviour?
Don't you think I could save you?
Don't you think I could save your life?

[Chorus]
Don't you think I'm a saviour?
Don't you think I could save you?
Don't you think I could save your life?
Don't you think I'm a saviour?
Don't you think I could save you?
Don't you think I could save your life?
Don't you think I'm a saviour?
Don't you think I could save you?
Don't you think I could save your life?
Don't you think I'm a saviour?
Don't you think I could save you?
Don't you think I could save your life?

[Outro]
Don't you think I'm a saviour?
Don't you think I could save you?
Don't you think I could save your life?
