Lyrics
You Bet Your Life
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Just another hunter, like a wolf in the sun
Just another junkie on a scoring run
Just another victim of the things he has done
Just another day ace up... in the life of a loaded gun
The odds get even
You name the game
The odds get even
The stakes are the same
You bet your life...
Just another winner, pours his life down the drain
Just another island in a hurricane
Just another loser, like a cat in the rain
Just another day ace up... in the path of a speeding train
The odds get even
You name the game
The odds get even
The stakes are the same
You bet your life...
Anarchist reactionary running dog revisionist
Hindu muslim catholic creation / evolutionist
Rational romantic mystic cynical idealist
Minimal expressionist post-modern neo-symbolist
Arm chair rocket scientist graffiti existentialist
Deconstruction primitive performance photo realist
Be-bop or a one drop or a hip hop lite pop metallist
Gold adult contemporary urban country capitalist
Just another gypsy with a plastic guitar
Just another dancer with her eyes on the stars
Just another dreamer who was going too far
Just another drunk ace up...at the wheel of a stolen car
The odds get even
You name the game
The odds get even
The stakes are the same
You bet your life...
