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
