Текст песни
He stood all alone in the market
In a cloak from an old legend’s page
A talisman shone in his palm
And his eyes seemed to measure each day
He whispered, “Come closer, don’t fear me
I hold luck like a flame in my hand
But the coins that were ringing inside your pocket
Would fall silent as soon as they landed
One little try—and the light disappears
One little smile—and it’s gone
And should you come back looking for miracles
Pay me again, give me more!
One-shot luck
One shot, one shot!
Put the money in my hand!
One-shot luck
One shot, one shot!
Then into the fire again!
One-shot luck
One shot, one shot!
But the price keeps rising higher
One-shot luck
One shot, one shot!
And your hea
Rt grows ever quieter
I watched as a young man bought from him
That glittering promise in haste
He won for a day, but by morning
He owed him far more than he’d gained
The merchant just smiled and told him
“You’ll get used to it—your hand won’t shake
First comes a coin
Then silver and gold
And after that, your whole life is at stake
One little try—and the light disappears
One little smile—and it’s gone
And should you come back looking for miracles
Pay me again, give me more!
One-shot luck
One shot, one shot!
Put the money in my hand!
One-shot luck
One shot, one shot!
Then into the fire again!
One-shot luck
One shot, one shot!
But the price keeps rising higher
One-shot luck
One shot, one shot!
And your heart grows ever quieter
But then I looked into his eyes
And saw nothing but a cold, empty sum
He sold me the promise of hope
Yet even he could not escape it
I threw all my fear on the counter
And he suddenly stumbled away
When you will not accept the price that he names
He can no longer call himself king
One-shot luck
One shot, one shot!
Put the money in my hand!
One-shot luck
One shot, one shot!
Then into the fire again!
One-shot luck
One shot, one shot!
But the price keeps rising higher
One-shot luck
One shot, one shot!
And your heart grows ever quieter
And the market stood silent, like dreaming
As I disappeared into night
While he kept weighing there on his scales
Someone else’s living dream
