Theme
A cover of the classic **Thin Lizzy** song. The lyrics describe the intense pressure and anxiety felt by a person who has placed a high-stakes, life-changing bet on a horse race (or a similar high-risk endeavor). The tension is physically manifested in the **'cold sweat'** running down their neck, emphasizing the extreme nature of the gamble.
Lyrics
I put my **money in the 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 very **slim**
I've been so lucky on the inside
I feel I'm going to **win**
**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 means **double**
And I got me a **heavy bet**
**Cold, cold sweat**
I put my **money in the suitcase**
They say **chances on the outside**
I got a **whole months wages**
**Stone cold sober and stone cold sweat**
**Stone cold crazy**
**Place another bet**
