I'm On a Roll
by Over the Rhine

Album: The Trumpet Child

Black flamenco shoes
Dahlias in my hair
Garters on my stockings
The sidewalk bends to stare
I'm on a roll
I'm on a roll

Ambition may be blind
Diamonds come from coal
You provide the rhythm babe
And I'll provide the soul
I'm on a roll
I'm on a roll

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
I'm on a roll

Tastes sweet on my lips
Tender on my tongue
All the road's ahead of me
Oh the night is young
I'm on a roll
I'm on a roll

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

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
I'm on a roll

I'm on a roll
Just like I oughta
I'm on a roll
I can't be bothered
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 dah dah de dah dah
I'm on a roll
La la la dah de dah dah
I'm on a roll
