Snake Eyes - Grover Washington, Jr.

You hold it in your hands

And let it flow, this cruelty

Of youth as you fall again

Alone in the compromise of truth

It’s in the eyes

I can tell, you will always be danger

We had it tonight, why do you leave it open?

And the stakes remain too high

For this silent mind

And the shake, the lonely itch

That courses down my spine

To leave a love divine

Don’t leave a love divine

It’s a water tight excuse

It’s in the eyes

I can tell, you will always be danger

We had it tonight, why do you always seek absolution?

It’s in the eyes

I can tell you will always be danger

How does the earth around your feet

Just slip away?

And abandon that greets you in the night

With snake eyes, the most precious kind

It’s in the eyes!

I can tell, you will always be danger!

We had it tonight!

Why do you always seek absolution?

It’s in the eyes!

I can tell you will always be danger!
