Over The Rhine Lyrics
"I'm On A Roll"

Black flamenco shoes

Dahlias in my hair

Garters on my stockings

The sidewalk bends to stare

I'm on a roll, oh

I'm on a roll, oh, oh, oh

Ambition may be blind

And diamonds come from coal

You provide the rhythm, babe

And I'll provide the soul

I'm on a roll, oh

I'm on a roll, oh, oh, oh

This oyster is my world

My oyster's got a pearl

This ain't no dress rehearsal

I'm a very lucky girl

I'm on a roll, oh

I'm on a roll, oh, oh, oh

Tastes sweet on my lips

Tender on my tongue

All the road's ahead of me

And oh, the night is young

I'm on a roll, oh

I'm on a roll, oh, oh, oh

I'm on a roll, just like I oughta

I'm on a roll, I can't be bothered

I'm on a roll, I want the whole enchilada

I'm on a roll

Our baby's got his bullhorn

Confetti's in the air

We're shakin' up show ponies

'Cause we haven't got a care

I'm on a roll, oh

I'm on a roll, oh, oh, oh

I'm on a roll, just like I oughta

I'm on a roll, I can't be bothered

I'm on a roll, I want the whole enchilada

I'm on a roll, Cincinnati to Ensenada

I'm on a roll from the thrift store to Prada

I'm on a roll, la, de, da, da, de, da, da, I'm on a roll

Ah, la, la, da, de, da, da, I'm on a roll
