OK so this song is based on the old Board game of Snakes and Ladders and how it dealt with Virtues and Vices , Sins and Graces, and Rebirth and all that shit. Yeah I took this challenge and kinda wrote a song about a Board game! Next week. Hiungry Hungry Hippos.
I ended up liking this song quite a bit.
lyrics
Roll of the dice roll of the dice
Karma is on my side
I think I got a little bit of free will left within me
It’s all good vs evil but money changes everything
A Swing and a miss swing and a miss
Everyone gets lucky sometimes
Where’s the ladder? Where’s the next ride?
I’m going up with the Angels and Gods
Angels and Gods Angels and gods to speak with divine majesty
Virtues and vices complicate things temptation all around me
But Annie get your gun lets go have some fun
we’ll all come out shooting
The Snakes and the ladders of lust, greed, good deeds,
and success will leave you cold
Will help and will hinder and tempt you with both fortune and gold
Will you please wait for me, will you please wait for me
Well I hope that I’m here in the end
I’m beginning to see the light but how high must I climb
Your mileage may vary my friend
Well Well Well I think I’ve been reborn again
In life as a lower form again
From mistakes that I’ve made long before long before
But its Stepford wives and royalty
Investments, Demigods and Deities
They come into play they come into play all through our lives
Passing by visions of flowers and beasts to the sky
The number of stairways outweighed by the snakes
as they lie there waiting
Will you please wait for me, will you please wait for me
Well I hope that I’m here in the end
I’m beginning to see the light but how far must I climb
Your mileage may vary my friend
Give me more more more, and we’ll take as we go
Indulge and then you will descend
I’m beginning to see the light but how far should I climb
Your Mileage may vary my friend
