Rush - You Bet Your Life Lyrics






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...

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

    75 hours of tears, vomiting, force-feeding myself, trying to stay hydrated. I'm still devastated. The hardest part of it all was, with all his greatness, I thought he'd never die. It's humbling to realize I was wrong...and that he was human. I guess heroes do that to us all. #NowItsDark

    My tragic junior year in college . . . the year this master work came out.
    Oh, and I can't tell a damn bit of difference between this and the original. . . RIP Neil.

    R.... J....

    This song turned me into a cynical idealist.

    R.... J....

    @Raphael Johnson -- I had to retype what I just wrote. I guess that makes me a running-dog revisionist. #NeilRIP

    just another island

    Should have gone with at least 192 bit rate. 128 is good but the less compression the cleaner the track and near original.
