Russian Roulette - Joan Armatrading

I bring myself down by making the things up I imagine you gone

Russian roulette

Like dancing with death

I carry on

I’ll take the blame

I know I’ve got it wrong

But if you high tail

I just can’t carry on The blood in my veins

Runs thin when I think

Are you with somebody

Opening doors

Moonlight love

And the promise you promise

The fear inside

Is stronger than the truth

It grows day by day

By night time I’m confused

Oh help me You can go on you can go on Can’t go on You can go on you can go on

I’m a prisoner in chains

Confound these thoughts

I could kill somebody

Like a lamb

Like a dove

You lay down while I shout

Accepting your fate

I’ll take the blame

I know I’ve got it wrong

But if you high tail

I just can’t carry on Oh help me You can go on you can go on Can’t go on You can go on you can go on Oh help me You can go on you can go on

I bring myself down by making things up I imagine you gone

Russian Roulette

Like dancing with death

I carry on Oh help me You can go on you can go on Can’t go on You can go on you can go on
