American Roulette

He was born in the belly of the country,
Over East of Eden, yeah
Confused by the big city blues, he didn’t know whose life he’s leadin no Put yourself behind the wheel
And see if you can get that feel, oh
Move faster by night, yeah, move faster by night ummm
The windows were all shattered and the body was all battered American roulette
Stake your life up on it
American roulette
Same eyes same eyes.
American roulette
Take that boy and put him in a mansion paint the windows black Give him all the women that he wants, put a monkey on his back
All of your so called friends A-take you where the sidewalk ends
I said, can’t sleep at night, no can’t sleep at night ummm
God 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 you didn’t have a chance in hell

For the American dream
There’s a thousand young blondes out there try’n to make it to the silver screen But she had the walk, the look, the talk, that shook the world, read about it some like it hot boy, some like it cool,
Too much for her to handle another scandal she burned the candle American roulette
Stake your life upon it
American roulette
Same eyes same eyes
American roulette
Ohhh 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

Stake your life upon it
