Thin Lizzy

Cold Sweat

I put my money in a suitcase
And headed for the big race
I felt a chill on my backbone
As I hung up the telephone
Stone cold sober and stone cold sweat
Running down the back of my neck
To lose means trouble, to win pays double
And I got me a heavy bet
Cold, cold sweat
They say chances on the outside
Are looking pretty slim
I feel so lucky on the inside
I feel I’m going to win… oh yeah
Stone cold sober and stone cold sweat
Running down the back of my neck
Take a little money, there’s nothing left to lose
And I got me a heavy bet
Cold, cold sweat
I’ve got me a whole month’s wages
I haven’t seen that much in ages
I might spend it in stages
And move out to Las Vegas
Stone cold sober and stone cold sweat
Running down the back of my neck
To lose means trouble, to win pays double
And I got me a heavy bet
Cold, cold sweat
I put my money in a suitcase… oh yeah
Stone cold sober and stone cold sweat
Stone cold crazy
Place another bet
