American Roulette Letra

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