LYING DICE

(Words by Andy and Beth Wheeler)
Tune: "Lying Eyes"

        City girls just seem to find out early
	How to open doors with just some guile
	A nice low roll and you won't have to worry
	You can pick the lock and rob the house in style

	But late at night reality gets lonely
	I guess every pot of coffee has its price
	It breaks her heart to think she's late for gaming
	So she grabs her purse and her big bag of dice

	So she tells him she must go out for the evening
	To comfort an old friend who's feeling down
	But he knows where she's going as she's leaving
	She is headed for the gaming side of town	

		You can't hide your lying dice
		Cause their noise breaks the disguise
		He can hear them roll inside
		There ain't no way to hide your lying dice	

	On the other side of town a group is waiting
	With fiery plans to put an orc to steel
	She drives on through the night anticipating
	Cause it makes her feel the way she wants to feel

	She rushes to the table, they roll together
	She whispers that she only got a three
	But she swears that soon she'll be dishing up some twenties
	Cause she'll cheat as long as no one else can see

		You can't hide your lying dice
		And your smile is a thin disguise
		Thought by now you'd realize
		The Gamemaster can see your lying dice

	She gets up and she pours a cup of coffee
	She doesn't want her character to fry
	She passes as they hand around the toffee
	And sits around until it's time to die

	She wonders how it ever got this crazy
	She thinks about a thief she ran in school
	Did she get tired, or did she just get lazy?
	She only thought she meant to steal a jewel	

	My oh my, you sure know how to arrange things
	You set it up so well, so carefully
	Ain't it funny how your high roll didn't change things
	We still managed to kill off your PC

 		You can't hide your lying dice
		Can't escape the GM's eyes
		Thought by now it's no surprise
		There ain't no way to hide your lying dice
