Be on guard twenty four-seven 
there'll be no warning shot 
keep looking over your shoulder 
protecting what you've got 
take a look from the dark side optimism don't get a 
chance 
be ready for a rough ride
Brace yourself for the last dance 

it's lightning striking twice you're rolling loaded 
dice 
expect the unexpected and expect it all your life

Are they lurking round the corner when you step off the 
curb 
there's no one there to warn you you think you've lost 
your nerve 
take a look from the dark side optimism don't get a 
chance 
be ready for a rough ride
Brace yourself for the last dance 

dice 
expect the unexpected and expect it all your life

the knife it twists and twists 
a tension still exists d
on't relax you ain't got time
Lick your wounds, get on with it 

your peace and quiet gets shattered 
you're sure that you are next 
you've got no-one to turn to 
cus your theory's perplex....
take a look from the dark side optimism don't get a 
chance 
be ready for a rough ride
Brace yourself for the last dance 

Lightning striking twice, rolling loaded dice 
Expect the unexpected and expect it all your life
Lightning striking twice, rolling loaded dice 
Expect the unexpected and expect it all your life
