U. D. O. Unreleased Songs Lyrics
1.Devil's Dice

Lyricist:Ritchie Blackmore, Ronnie James Dio

Jesus Christ was born like me in a stable
His mom and dad did all that they were able
How did they know which way He'd turn
Didn't want to get their fingers burned
To take which path from right or wrong
He picked right and I picked wrong

I see myself swinging in the gentle breeze
Remembering girls and the way they teased
Mama and papa saying this I tell
We loved you boy but you're going to hell

Roll the devil's dice, no second chance
Roll the devil's dice, I did the dead man's dance
I did the dead man's dance

Ever since nine I was juvenile
Stealing from pa did petty crime
Officer said for me no hope
The only good thing for you is the rope
Left me danging high and dry
They picked my bones and the crows took flight

I see myself swinging in the gentle breeze
Remembering girls and the way they teased
Mama and papa saying this I tell
We loved you boy but you're going to hell

Roll the devil's dice, my turn to cast
Roll the devil's dice and I got the six
Roll the devil's dice, all three of them
Roll the devil's dice, roll the devil's dice

So here I am on judgment day with angels
The Lord Jesus is reckoning the tables
He said, I know you, didn't take you long
Been bad down there, didn't string along
You know which way the righteous choose
Gonna swing you high from the reaper's noose

Roll the devil's dice, no second chance
Roll the devil's dice, I did the dead man's dance
Roll the devil's dice, my turn to cast
Roll the devil's dice, roll the devil's dice

I did the dead man's dance


2.Trip To Nowhere

Lyricist:Dirkschneider Udo, Kaufmann Stefan

I was born in a backstreet
Where people live a dirty life
Of course it was different most of the time
But it was not my fault

A life in hell
I saw it every morning
Dreams and desires
Can't hide myself anymore

I tried to live in heaven
But this dream did not come true
I tried to live in heaven
Next time I'll try to knock on this door again

I've been hunting
Day and night
Oh, I've been losing
Please, hold me tight

Why am I here now
And what can I do
You tell me you're sorry
You know it ain't true

I tried to live in heaven
But this dream did not come true
I tried to live in heaven
Next time I'll try to knock on this door again
You know what I mean

'Cause when you throw in the cards
Yeah, life goes on
You're on a trip to nowhere
You'd better reach for the stars
Yeah, life goes on and on and on and on again

'Cause when you throw in the cards
Yeah, life goes on
You're on a trip to nowhere
You'd better reach for the stars
Yeah, life goes on and on and on and on again

Now I'm taking my chances
Everyday, every night
You know what I'm talking about, man
No more backstreet life

A life in hell
I saw it every morning
Dreams and desires
Don't hide myself anymore

I tried to live in heaven
But this dream did not come true
I tried to live in heaven
Next time I'll try to knock on this door again
You know what I mean

'Cause when you throw in the cards
Yeah, life goes on
You're on a trip to nowhere
You'd better reach for the stars
Yeah, life goes on and on and on and on again

'Cause when you throw in the cards
Yeah, life goes on
You're on a trip to nowhere
You'd better reach for the stars
Yeah, life goes on and on and on and on again

I made it out of this hell
You know what I mean

I tried to live in heaven
But this dream did not come true
I tried to live in heaven
Next time I'll try to knock on this door again
You know what I mean

'Cause when you throw in the cards
Yeah, life goes on
You're on a trip to nowhere
You'd better reach for the stars
Yeah, life goes on and on and on and on again

'Cause when you throw in the cards
Yeah, life goes on
You're on a trip to nowhere
You'd better reach for the stars
Yeah, life goes on and on and on and on again

'Cause when you throw in the cards
Yeah, life goes on
You're on a trip to nowhere
You'd better reach for the stars

'Cause when you throw in the cards
You're on a trip to nowhere
You'd better reach for the stars
