Freddie Mercury
In the Lap of the Gods... Revisited (Live at the Hammersmith Odeon, 24th December 1975)
[Spoken Word: Brian May]
We'd like to leave you in the lap of the Gods
[Verse 1]
It's so easy, but I can't do it
It's so risky, but I gotta chance it
It's so funny, there's nothing to laugh about
My money, that's all you wanna talk about
I can see what you want me to be
But that's not true
[Chorus]
It's in the lap of the Gods
Whoa, whoa, la, la, la
I can see what you want me to be
I'm no fool
[Verse 2]
There's no beginning, there's no ending
There's no meaning in my pretending
Believe me, life goes on and on and on
Forgive me when I ask you where do I belong
You say, "I can never set you free"
But that's not true
[Chorus]
It's in the lap of the Gods
Whoa, whoa, la-la-la, whoa
Whoa, whoa, la la
Wah, wah, ooh
I'm no fool
[Outro]
It's in the lap of the Gods
Whoa, whoa, la-la-la, whoa
Whoa, whoa, la-la
Wah, wah, ooh
I'm no fool
It's in the lap of the Gods, everybody
Whoa, whoa, la-la-la, whoa
Whoa, whoa, la-la
Wah, wah, ooh
[Spoken Word: Freddie Mercury & Roger Taylor]
