"RUSSIAN ROULETTE" - LYRICS
Take a breath
Take it deep
Calm Yourself
He says to me
If you play
You play for keeps
Take a gun
And count to 3
I’m sweating it out
Moving slow
No time to think
My turn to go
And you can see my heart beating
You can see it through my chest
Said I’m terrified, but I’m not leaving
I know that I must pass this test
So just pull the trigger
Say a prayer
To yourself
He says close your eyes
Sometimes it helps
And then I get
A scary thought
That he’s here
Means he’s never lost
And you can see my heart beating
You can see it through my chest
Said I’m terrified, but I’m not leaving
I know that I must pass this test
So just pull the trigger
As my life flashes before my eyes
I’m wondering will I
Ever see another sun rise
So many won’t get the chance to say goodbye
But it’s too late to think of the value of my life
And you can see my heart beating
You can see it through my chest
Said I’m terrified, but I’m not leaving
I know that I must pass this test
And you can see my heart beating
You can see it through my chest
Said I’m terrified, but I’m not leaving
I know that I must pass this test
So just pull the trigger
