Cold Sweat (Sight and Sound, 1983) Songtext
von Thin Lizzy

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 chance is on the outside
And looking pretty slim
I feel so lucky on the inside
I feel I′m gonna 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 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
Runnin′ 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
They say chance is on the outside
I′ve got a whole month's wages

Stone-cold sober and stone-cold sweat
Stone-cold crazy, place another bet
