Robbie Robertson - American Roulette Lyrics
He was born in the belly of the countryOver east of EdenConfused by the big city bluesHe didn't know whose life he's leadingPut yourself behind the wheelSee if you can get that feelMove faster by nightMove faster by nightThe windows were all shatteredAnd the body was all batteredAmerican RouletteStake your life upon itAmerican RouletteSame eyes, same eyesAmerican RouletteTake that body and put him in a mansionPaint the window blackGive him all the women that he wantsPut a monkey on his backAll of your so called friendsTake you where the sidewalk endsCan't sleep at nightCan't sleep at nightLord please save his soulHe was the king of Rock and RollAmerican RouletteStake your life upon itAmerican RouletteSame eyes, same eyesAmerican RouletteThey said she didn't have a chance in hellFor the American DreamThere's a thousand young blondes out thereTrying to make it to the silver screenShe had the walk, the look, the talkThat shook the world (Read about it)Some like it hotSome like it coolToo much to her to handleAnother scandal, she burnt the candleAmerican RouletteStake your life upon itAmerican RouletteSame eyes, same eyesAmerican RouletteSay a prayer for the lost generationWho spin the wheel out of desperationAmerican RouletteStake your life upon itAmerican RouletteSame eyes, same eyesAmerican Roulette
