Theme

A cover of the classic **Thin Lizzy** song. The lyrics describe the intense pressure and anxiety felt by a person who has placed a high-stakes, life-changing bet on a horse race (or a similar high-risk endeavor). The tension is physically manifested in the **'cold sweat'** running down their neck, emphasizing the extreme nature of the gamble.

Lyrics
I put my money in the 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 chances on the outside Are looking very slim I've been so lucky on the inside I feel I'm going to 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 me 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 Running down the back of my neck To lose means trouble, to win means double And I got me a heavy bet Cold, cold sweat I put my money in the suitcase They say chances on the outside I got a whole months wages Stone cold sober and stone cold sweat Stone cold crazy Place another bet
