lirik lagu danny o'keefe - american roulette

[part i]

[verse]
where is the center in the beating of the heart?
in the point of balance, the point of no returning?
in the soul’s releasing, in strips of silence
slowly torn apart
slowly torn apart

[bridge]
last night i dreamed of wealth and fame
i dreamt so hard i felt the pain
so slowly running from my eyes
onto a page i’d filled with sighs
and songs designed to make it pay
for how i came to be this way

[chorus]
oh, the hunger in the search for power
love is torture in the sеarch for power
lily, are you near mе?
lily, can you hear me?
lily, are you near me
in my dream?

[part ii]
[verse 1]
i smoke too much
when i wanna touch you
i light a cigarette instead

[verse 2]
poisoning myself
in an existential game
i call american roulette

[verse 3]
a soldier to the wind
i’m answering your call
with yet another song

[verse 4]
when, like the flag
you would raise your skirt
mocking my salute

[verse 5]
sometimes i cannot come
because i cannot leave
the fortress of the heart

[instrumental break]
[verse 6]
i smoke too much
knowing it’s not death
but life i fear we fear

[verse 7]
why do we assume
the beginning always is
more sacred than the end?

[verse 8]
i smoke too much
knowing i can’t reach you
i light another cigarette

[part iii]

[verse]
so we stumble on, upon a path of darkness
constantly in motion, constantly in waiting
antic~p~ting, misunderstanding
both light and darkness
both light and darkness

[chorus]
oh, the hunger in the search for power
love is torture in the search for power
lily, are you near me?
lily, can you hear me?
lily, are you near me
in my dream?
