Jonathan Auerbach: Music / Lyrics

Undercover Roulette

(Jonathan Auerbach - SIREN CALL)
2007
Jonathan Auerbach

Midnight in Cairo, the club was packed

Sleeper agent at the bar

I burned a smoke, she played her act

So surreal like Film Noir

 

If looks could kill, I'd be dead

It’s a dangerous bet – playin’…

Undercover roulette - undercover roulette

 

Cool and chic, serpent smile

Saw the writing on the wall

Ancient wind off the Nile

Falcon could not hear the call...

 

If looks could kill, I'd be dead

It’s a dangerous bet – playin’…

Undercover roulette – undercover roulette

Such a dangerous bet, undercover roulette

 

Shifting sands, hot as fire

Desert mirage glowing red

The Phoenix burns on the pyre

Sleeping – in the enemy's bed 

 

Lawless land foreign affair

Checked our weapons at the door

Gave up all but the nom de guerre

Waged our own private war

 

If looks could kill, I'd be dead

It’s a dangerous bet – playin’…

Undercover roulette – undercover roulette

Such a dangerous bet, undercover roulette
