Description
Yes I have tricks in my pocketI have things up my sleeve
plots, schemes, or darker dreams.
And every one is mine--
click-clink--clack-clack-clack!
A thousand lives roar in my palm.
A million choices lurch from my fingers.
A billion chances stream across the table.
And not a one is mine--
click-clink--clack-clack-clack!
I'm king of the world, I'm god for the day.
And what now is false? And what now is real?
You say it's a game but at times it seems
like nothing else could be mine--
click-clink--clack-clack-clack!
Chance is my mistress and Luck is my love;
Calliope and Polyhymnia my muses.
These four fickle females I must please
as I draw close my bones--
click-clink--
I pray to these flighty ladies and hope,
gods above, that you'll grant me a grace
with which I can be master.
And then I throw my dice--
clack-clack-clack!
