Russian Roulette lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics Russian Roulette lyrics Ritchie was an old friend of mine He took lots of pills to pass the time Used to be filled with political conviction He started to struggle with heroin addiction [Chorus:] His skin turned cold and his face turned blue Not yet 30 but it happened to you Russian Roulette with a needle in your vein A junkies life ends up the same It seems like he changed overnight He took more dope to feel alright Didn t pay attention to the warning signs Started living on borrowed time [Chorus:] His skin turned cold and his face turned blue Not yet 30 but it happened to you Russian Roulette with a needle in your vein A junkies life ends up the same I m so sorry but I can t go on He lost his strength to carry on Shot a speed ball into his vein To end his life and to end the pain song lyrics
