roll the bones
 

* 3 eylul 1991 ciki$li rush albumu. ustalarin presto albumu ile ba$layan distortion gitara daha agirlik verme donemlerinin onemli albumlerinden. neil peart her zamankinden birazcik daha touché calar, geddy lee daha karma$ik bassline'lar calarken king lerxst* gitarlari carlatir.



konsept album olarak $ans ve insan arasindaki garip ili$kiler uzerine kurulmu$tur, keza kapaginda zarlardan olu$mu$* bir duvarin onunde kurukafa tekmeleyen bir veled, ic kapaklarda ise bir filin kici* ve ucan lades kemikleri



* bulunur. her $arki $ans hakkinda ayri bir yorum icerir



* . ozellikle "where's my thing" rush literaturunde



* olarak gecer. the professor yine cin bir harf oyunu yaparak enstrumental $arkida bile dimaglara sizmi$tir.



ayni adli $arkinin sozleri de a$agidadir, lyrics peart music lee and lifeson:



well, you can stake that claim -

good work is the key to good fortune

winners take that praise

losers seldom take that blame

if they don't take that game

and sometimes the winner takes nothing

we draw our own designs

but fortune has to make that frame



we go out in the world and take our chances

fate is just the weight of circumstances

that's the way that lady luck dances

roll the bones



why are we here?

because we're here

roll the bones

why does it happen?

because it happens

roll the bones



faith is cold as ice -

why are little ones born only to suffer

for the want of immunity

or a bowl of rice?

well, who would hold a price

on the heads of the innocent children

if there's some immortal power

to control the dice?



we come into the world and take our chances

fate is just the weight of circumstances

that's the way that lady luck dances

roll the bones...



jack - relax.

get busy with the facts.

no zodiacs or almanacs,

no maniacs in polyester slacks.

just the facts.

gonna kick some gluteus max.

it's a parallax - you dig?

you move around

the small gets big. it's a rig

it's action - reaction -

random interaction.

so who's afraid

of a little abstraction?

can't get no satisfaction

from the facts?

you better run, homeboy -

a fact's a fact

from nome to rome, boy.



what's the deal? spin the wheel.

if the dice are hot - take a shot.

play your cards. show us what you got -

what you're holding.

if the cards are cold,

don't go folding.

lady luck is golden

she favors the bold. that's cold

stop throwing stones -

the night has a thousand saxophones.

so get out there and rock,

and roll the bones.

get busy!
