 4  -3 -3 -3 -3 -3    2  -3 -3” -3 -3” -4  -3 -3” 3

You got to be crazy, you gotta have a real  ne-e-d

-3 3    4   4  -3”   -4  -3”  4    -3”   4  -3”  -4

Gotta sleep on your toes and when you're on the street

-3”  4  4 -3” -4 4 -3” 4    4  -3” 4 -3” -4   4   -3”   5     5

You got to be able to pick out the easy meat with your eyes closed

-2’ -2’ -2’ 2  -2’ -3”’-2’ -2’ -2’   2  -2’ -3”’ -2’

Then moving in  silently, down wind and out of sight

-3” -3” 3  -3”   -3’   3 -3” -3’ 3   -3”  -3’ -3”  4   4 -3’ -3”

You gotta strike when the moment is right without think-i-n-g

 

-3” -3 -3 -3” -3    -3  -3”  -3 -3   -3    -3” -4 -3 -3” 3

And after  a while, you can work on points for s-t-y-l-e

-3”  -3”  4    4    1   1   4    4   -4

Like the club tie, and the firm handshake

-3” 4 -3”   4  -3” -3”  4  -3” -3” -4 -3” -3”

 A certain look in the eye and an   easy smile

-3” -3  -3 -3  -3 -3 -3” -3” -3” -3 -3” -3   -3” -3  -4’

You have to be trust-e-d  by the people that you lie to

-3” -3”  -3”  -3” -3”  -3’    -3”  3  -2”

So that when they turn their backs on you

-3”   -3”   3   -3”    3 -3” -3’   4   -4

You'll get the chance to put the knife in

 

-3  -4 -4  -4  -4  -3   -3 -3” -3 -3  -3   -4 -3

You gotta keep one eye looking  over your shoulder

-3   -3  -3   4 -3”  4  -4 4     4 -3”   4  -4 4

You know it's gonna get harder, harder, and harder

4   4   4  -4 4

As you get older

-3”   -3” -3 -3  -3   -3     4  -3  -3  -3  -3    -4

Yeah, and in the end you'll pack up and fly down south

-3    -3   -3  -3” -3” -3”

Hide your head in the sand

-3” -3” -3” -3” -3” -3’ -3”

Just  another   sad old man

-3” -3” -3” 3 -3” -3’ 3 -3” -3 4    -4

All  alone and dying of cancer-oh-ohhhhhhhhhhhhh

 

-3”  -3” -3   4    -3 4     -3”   -3”  -3   4 -4    4   -3   -3”

And when you lose control, you'll reap the harvest you have sown

-3” -3” -3   4     4   

And as  the fear grows,

-3” -3”  -3”   4    -3    4  -4  5 -4 5 -4 4 -3 -3”

the bad blood slows and turns to stooooooooooooooone

-3” -3”  -3   4  -3   4   -3   4    

And it's too late to lose the weight

-3   4   -3  4   -3  -3”  3 -3”3 2

you used to need to throw a-ro-und

-3” -3” -3  4    -3   -3” -3  4  -3   -3” -3 4 -3

 So have a good drown, as you go down all a-lo-ne

  5      4  -3   2   -3”

Dragged down by the stone

 

4 -3  -3” -3 -3   -3 -3” -3 -3 -3  -3” -4 -3

Gotta  admit that I'm a little bit con-fu-sed

-3  -3   -3”  -4  -3” 4  4  4   4   4   4 -3” -4 4  

Sometimes it seems to me as if I'm just being u-sed

-3 -3  -3 -3 -3   -3 3  -4’  3   -3   -4’  3    -3 -3   3 -3 -4’

Gotta stay awake, gotta try and shake off this creeping ma-la-ise

-3 -3 -3”   -3”  -3” -3”  -3”   -3” -3’ 3  -3” -3’ 3  -3” -3’  4   -4

If I don't stand my own ground, how can I find my way out of this maze

 

-3     -3  -3”  -3    -3   -3   -3  -3 -3 -4 -3

Deaf, dumb and blind, you just keep on pretending

-3”   4 -3” 4   -3” -4 4 4  -3”  4 -3”  4 -3” -4    4

That everyone's expendable, and no one has a real friend

 4 -3”  -3  -3  -3  -3”  -3  -3 -3   -3  -3 -3” -3 -3 -4’ -3” -3 -4’

And it seems to you the thing to do would be to  isolate the winner

 3  -3” -3” -3”  -3” -3” -3” -3” -3”

And everything's done under the sun

 3  -3”  3 -3”  3   -3”  -3” 3 -3” -3’ 4 -4

But you believe at heart everyone's a killer

 

-3” -3   4   4  4  -3    -3” 3  -3”

Who was born in a house full of pain

-3” -3    4      4   4  -3  -3” 3  -3”

Who was trained not to spit in the fan

-3” -3   4   -4   4  -3 -3” 3  -3”

Who was told what to do by the man

-3” -3   4 4   4    -3    -3” 3 -3”

Who was broken by trained personnel

-3” -3   4  4   4   -3 -3   3   -3”

Who was fitted with collar and chain

-3” -3   4 4 -3” -3 -3” 3   -3”

Who was given a pat on the back

-3” -3   4 -4    4 -3  -3”  3  -3” 

Who was breaking away from the pack

-3” -3  4 -4 4  -3 -3”  3  -3”

Who was only a stranger at home

-3” -3    4     -3 -3”  3  -3”

Who was ground down in the end

-3” -3    4    -3 -3”  3   -3”

Who was found dead on the phone

-3” -3     4     -3  -3” 3   -3”

Who was dragged down by the stone

 5   5    5       4  -3  2   -3”

Who was dragged down by the stone

Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
