In the game of life, we take our chance, Whatever the given circumstance, Oh, the twists and turns we can't foresee, A dance with chance, we’ll never get ourselves free. Roll them dice, go on let 'em fly, Its a game of chance until we die, Destiny's hand holds us in its grip, Until one day we just let it slip Roll them dice, watch 'em spin, Its a game we all play to win, But remember we take a chance, Luck is but a frantic dance. From the cradle to the yawning grave , We work hard and we all slave, we fall flat on our face, Chance dictates if we win the race Roll them dice, let 'em fly, A game of chance until we die, Destiny's hand holds in its grip, Until one day we lose our grip

A woman walked both chic and fast. Fur coat wrapped on a summer’s day, To keep the sullen world at bay. Entered a lift in an exclusive block, Gave the doorman a sideways look He knew which floor is hers tonight, It is her way it is her right. Chorus Shanghai nights, where secrets fester In the city, where morals sequester. The police ask often is this a game? Evil or good it appears all the same. The thief with betrayal burning his mind, He’d outsmart them, leave them all behind. But the goddess in fur, she had plans of her own, Intrigue and deception in the seeds she had sown. Their love was concerto both so alive, With passion so sweet, that hopes contrive. As the room spun around, they both played their part, In this symphony of secrets, where trust breaks a heart (Chorus) Our lovers together lost in a dream, But the lady in fur, her nefarious scheme She whispered a secret, he couldn't resist, In the midst of the lust, where secrets persist. As her final cries echoed, the truth was unveiled, In a tale of deception he would soon be jailed. The police closing in, now their destinies sealed.
