Lyrics
"Play the game" she said,
"It's how you learn."
I was invited by ice blue eyes
and She had black red hair
Nastassia Kinski smile
And slit skirt
that played on her thighs
And she would glance at me
occasionally
then smile and eyes would dance away
and as the wheel spin round and round
I laid my money down
and waited...
Never played this game before
every spin I'm learning more
Avalon
32 to one, but my odds were worse than that
no matter what number I tried
it wasn't hers
it wasn't mine
you know the wheel makes up its mind
but I was enjoying being taken for this ride
And she would glance at me
occasionally
then smile and eyes would dance away
and as the wheel spin round and round
I laid my money down
and waited...
Never played this game before
every spin I'm learning more
Avalon
Now every time I play Roulette
and I lay down my bet
I am seeing her yet in my mind's eye...
"Play the game" she said,
"It's how you learn."
I was invited by ice blue eyes
and She had black red hair
Nastassia Kinski smile
And slit skirt
that played on her thighs
And she would glance at me
occasionally
then smile and eyes would dance away
and as the wheel spin round and round
I placed my last bet down
and waited...
I walked away my money spent
into the Kyiv night I went
Avalon
"Play the game," She said, "It's how you learn..."
