- You Bet Your Life Lyrics / with translationsJust 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 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 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
Armchair 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 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
Anarchist reactionary, running-dog revisionist
Hindu, Muslim, Catholic creation, evolutionist
Rational, romantic, mystic, cynical, idealist
Minimal expressionist, post-modern neo-symbolist
Armchair 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 junkie on a scoring run
Just another victim of the things he has done
Just another day 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 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
