American Roulette Lyrics

American Roulette lyrics

He was born in the belly of the country
Over east of Eden
Confused by the
big city blues
He didn't know whose life he's leading
Put yourself behind
the wheel
See if you can get that feel
Move faster by night
Move faster
by night
The windows were all shattered
And the body was all
battered

American Roulette
Stake your life upon it
American
Roulette
Same eyes, same eyes
American Roulette

Take that body and
put him in a mansion
Paint the window black
Give him all the women that he
wants
Put a monkey on his back
All of your so called friends
Take you
where the sidewalk ends
Can't sleep at night
Can't sleep at night
Lord
please save his soul
He was the king of Rock and Roll

American
Roulette
Stake your life upon it
American Roulette
Same eyes, same
eyes
American Roulette

They said she didn't have a chance in
hell
For the American Dream
There's a thousand young blondes out
there
Trying to make it to the silver screen
She had the walk, the look,
the talk
That shook the world (Read about it)
Some like it hot
Some
like it cool
Too much to her to handle
Another scandal, she burnt the
candle

American Roulette
Stake your life upon it
American
Roulette
Same eyes, same eyes
American Roulette

Say a prayer for
the lost generation
Who spin the wheel out of desperation

American
Roulette
Stake your life upon it
American Roulette
Same eyes, same
eyes
American Roulette
