HOLLIES

HOLLIES - Russian Roulette lyrics

rate me

(Clarke / Sylvester / Hicks)

Back street dive down in New Orleans

gambler shows his face

The place was full of jacks and queens

but I never came up with that bread-winning ace

Whisky's cheap at twice the price

when it kills the pain of bad tumbling dice

The scene's all set for an IOU

Give it one more spin then that's me I'm through

The wheel's like a chamber in Russian roulette

I'm takin' a chance and I'm gunnin' for red

The wheel's like a chamber in Russian roulette

I'm takin' a chance and I'm gunnin' for red

Lost my shirt headed for the bar

Gonna drown my sorrows in a whisky jar

Head hung low because I got beat

I see a hundred dollar bill layin' at my feet

chorus

Headed for the tables I'm wearin' my shades

Got to find me a lucky green top,

can't be one I've played

My hands are shakin' don't wanna lose my cool

Should I keep the big C or gamble like a fool?

chorus
