Valentine Day Massacre
St Valentine’s Day Massacre
Better hope you’re somewhere else but here
40 feet wide if you’re inside you’re dead in an instant
But saints and devils are in our everyday it comes to
Who you choose whose side you’re on can’t sit on a fence
If you do you give up your soul your inner being
You’ll rot in hell in a jail cell if you’re lucky but luck looks away
So you’ll die the same way you paid for slice your carotid artery
Or a bullet in the back of the head dick and balls in your throat
Duke Ellington tried to go to Philly and left the Apollo Theater
They sent down a man told Philly Fahget About It or have a dirt nap
So the Duke and his band packed up their bags on the way back to NYC
Did an extended stand at the Apollo but the cash never came their way
That’s the way we lived trying to live anyway but that’s the life we choose
We are Young Turks in the city and we dont act any way but less than pretty
Joe the Boss goes to eat on Coney Island blood runs out cold but dinner is warm
Lucky steps up maybe 2nd in command but he hangs with a Jew Lansky
Murder Inc with a linc to the homeland so this is the life we choose
Must be fucking crazy or living life like i had a lobotomy because around
The corner is a bullet or some cuffs if im lucky or a slit of my throat
But saints and devils live among we dance between the darkness of us
Give up your soul or choose what is right to sleep within your self
You can live like a devil but if you die
You go to Hell
You can live like a saint no promises so
You can die before the Devil goes To Hell
Better hope you’re somewhere else but here
40 feet wide if you’re inside you’re dead in an instant
But saints and devils are in our everyday it comes to
Who you choose whose side you’re on can’t sit on a fence
If you do you give up your soul your inner being
You’ll rot in hell in a jail cell if you’re lucky but luck looks away
So you’ll die the same way you paid for slice your carotid artery
Or a bullet in the back of the head dick and balls in your throat
