I'm On A Roll

Over the Rhine · The Trumpet Child [2007]

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
