Song Lyrics

We roll those dice, we find a way
To stretch it a little longer, give it one more day
But at evens or odds every number comes up
Was it thirteen, was it seven
Is there any good luck

In a world so randomly cruel and complex
Like devoured hosts as sacraments
Pushed that envelope enough times, never needed Death's help
Hell, once and a while thought I'd mailed it myself

I'll hold on for you
Bittersweet as forbidden fruit
Mary is laughing while Joseph's just trying to

Lived my life take it or leave it, looking back now you know I just can't see it
Lived my life take it or leave it, looking back now no I wouldn't believe it

With our lives so parallel but distant
Like the hem of the garment, or a gospel lament
But I'll light candles for you, we'll burn one for another
With each coin's side bet on the other

But I'll hold on for you
A rosary prayer for that old high-school
Mary is laughing while Josheph's just trying

Seven dolors
A mother and a son
Nobody wants to die young

Nathaniel James Rufus, Robert Hollis Rufus
