Lyrics

I'll take the high road
There's nothing stopping me now
I like to gamble with my gang
And there's no turning back

I'm in the big time
No one can deny it
I'm playing for high stakes
I'm on the attack

Don't tell me there's no problem
If I gain the world and lose my soul
Don't want to hear about eternity
I live for today, this hour alone

When the clock strikes
The clock strikes midnight
When the clock strikes
Time's run out on you
When the clock strikes
The clock strikes midnight
The lord's going to give to each man his due

The sun is rising
It's high in the sky
I burn the candle at full
It's lighting up the night

Don't try to cross me
'Cause I'll throw you in
With dirty people, (?)
