LYRICS
Ever had a moment of crystal clear insight
The dawning realisation of how to put things right?
Boiled it all down to everything that matters
Rolling the dice to play this game of Snakes & Ladders
Snakes & Ladders

We could make out like bandits, if we could pull off this heist
Hack into a mainframe, tap into the zeitgeist
Show them we mean business, no more than they can manage
That we're not messing around, that we could really go to town, and do some damage
And do some damage

Chorus:
Up and down and all around this crazy trip -- we won't forget it
On and off the beaten track with setbacks -- but don't regret it
Many times we want to get off or stop the clock -- and then reset it
Cut through the chatter with a silver platter cos we put it all together -- but they don't get it
No they don't get it

We could start a discussion of the particulars of the crime
Let them cordon off the scene establishing a time-line
Or try to keep on climbing, though the days are shorter
Be the last men standing who won't be felled come hell or high water
Come hell or high water

Ever had a moment of crystal clear insight
The dawning realisation of how to put things right?
Boiled it all down to everything that matters
Rolling the dice to play this game of Snakes & Ladders
Snakes & Ladders

Chorus

Talking about Snakes & Ladders
