MEREDITH BROOKS Sin City ('Snake Eyes' movie version)

From the original soundtrack of the movie "Snake Eyes" (1998).

LYRICS:
In this town of pain
You could be the lucky one
Fate turns on a dime
The only thing that will change
Are the lights when they get brighter
They replace the sun

Out the door, you get burned
And there is no way back in
You've got nothing
Snake eyes, the house always wins

[Chorus:]
A drowning man does not die silently
You can feel the final warning
And the black money follows
Through the veins of the shallow
Change the name to protect the guilty
You'll never leave Sin City
Where you are king

In this room of shame
You could sink this town
And breathe another day
The mirror faces you
You cannot look away
Blood is on your hand
The streets will be the same
Under your feet like quicksand
Touch the face where a kiss of hope can last

[Chorus]
Ooohhh where you are king ooohhh

A drowning man does not die silently
You can feel the final warning
And the black money follows
Through the veins of the shallow
Change the name to protect the guilty
You'll never leave Sin City

Just one kiss from the shadow
Will be the touch of an angel
Just one kiss is all that you need
If you never leave Sin City
You never leave Sin City
You never leave Sin City
Where you are king

Just one kiss ohhhh-oh-oh-oh
Where you are king [repeat]

One underrated song....a shame it wasn't more popular a hidden gem indeed

[parkpunk]

I was a projectionist when this played in the theater. I heard this song every night, it was the last movie to finish.

[JHallenbeck]

This song takes me right back to when I first watched Snake Eyes (on a rented videotape from Blockbuster) when I was 13. Amazing how music can transport you back to the past.

[asfandmunawar]

Such a classic and still don't know why is has been so underrated. I just love it

[tonyrodrigues]

Whenever I think of the movie snakeeyes this song was always etched in my mind

[brendanash]

Wow! That was the coolest song I've ever heard.

[kurtdebelus]

Here comes the tune! Here comes the tune!

Great song, which is also matching Snake Eyes perfectly. What a combo!

[mattbuckland]

Wow, watched the movie for the first time yesterday and enjoyed it but then this song came on at the credits and I was blown away. Lyric changes and increased tempo really work.

[marcosbracco]

Vi muchas películas de los años 90, me encantan pero esta no la había visto, recien la termine de ver, excelente la parte de los creditos y del detalle del rubi! Rapido vine a esuchar el tema! Saludos desde Argentina!

[DrowningMan]

Oh, what the hell.
At least I got to be on TV

[GottSmoke]

i remember waiting and waiting for that hand to move, awesome scene

[FernandoLT]

Great song and great voice! Why didn´t have more visits? :(

[oscarflores]

Me encanta poner está canción una y otra vez

[iverymathias]

This song reminds me of the closing credits of Snake Eyes.

[tnecniv]

whenever i hear this i always remember that good ending

[thevealchop]

Anybody else besides me noticed at the end of the movie the redheaded woman got put in the concrete. There's a camera shot of her ring sticking out of the concrete.

Funhouse De Palma like Femme Fatale or Raising Cain. Why isn’t this track on Spotify?
