I often wonder how exciting life would be

If only I would seize the opportunity

To break free of all conventions and comfort

But a worried face soon comes over me



But I am only once, not twice

At the mercy of dice

But I am only once, not twice

At the mercy of dice



We went to bed and turned the stereo on low

Heard the timber creek and windows rattled gently

Allthough we smiled there were no words left to say

A soothing draft was all I had for company



But I am only once, not twice

At the mercy of dice

But I am only once, not twice

At the mercy of dice
