You gotta be crazy, you gotta have a real needYou gotta sleep on your toes, and when you're on the streetYou gotta be able to pick out the easy meat with your eyes closedAnd then moving in silently, down wind and out of sightYou gotta strike when the moment is right without thinkingAnd after a while, you can work on points for styleLike the club tie, and the firm handshakeA certain look in the eye and an easy smileYou have to be trusted by the people that you lie toSo that when they turn their backs on you,You'll get the chance to put the knife inYou gotta keep one eye looking over your shoulderYou know it's going to get harder, and harder, and harder as you get olderAnd in the end you'll pack up and fly down southHide your head in the sand,Just another sad old manAll alone and dying of cancerAnd when you loose control, you'll reap the harvest you have sownAnd as the fear grows, the bad blood slows and turns to stoneAnd it's too late to lose the weight you used to need to throw aroundSo have a good drown, as you go down, all aloneDragged down by the stone (stone, stone, stone, stone, stone)I gotta admit that I'm a little bit confusedSometimes it seems to me as if I'm just being usedGotta stay awake, gotta try and shake off this creeping malaiseIf I don't stand my own ground, how can I find my way out of this maze?
