I dont mess with outside guys
They cant stand up you see
I dont mess with normal guys
Guys like you not me
A guy come to me, for a hit, a customer, lets say
He says he cant pay his bookmaker, wants to blow him away
wants me to do it, and i kinda like this guy ok
So he says how much to hit em and i say 20k
20k?
20k
I say 20k
He says 20k?
Yeah thats how much it costs for some good foulplay
He says i owe him 20k, and he squirmed like a snake
I says then DIY and good luck or find (yourself) a neophyte
I says Ill send you cigarettes in the can good bye
20k, 20k, 20k
I go true it like the wind
20k, 20k, 20k
I dont play that game to win
And sure enough the guy goes out
gets himself a booker
Gets himself a bomber,
they go out and hit’em
Now theyre doin 20 in the can
From a nice family he came
A two times stay in the cell
Thats what happens to men
Who mess with amateurs
Im not sayin he would talk
Im not saying he would squeal
But a civillan cant stand up
When hes looking at his cell
20k, 20k, 20k
20k, 20k, 20k
20k, 20k, 20k
We dont have no waste
20k, 20k, 20k
And we dont type in triplicate
20k, 20k, 20k
20k 20 in the can

Cards

Six, Nine, ...Ace, Three, Two
Excuse me sir the bets to you
Hes a skunk til hes had his run
But here three cards just aint enough
Just when I think hes winning
Just when I think Im thinking
He thought he had the pot in spades
He took a little gamble
But a hand worth fifteen in the bush
Is worth nothing in the bramble
Fifteen two big blinds the nest
Hes got his hands on junk at best
Fifteen four this hands a snore
This bleeder’s not done bleeding yet
Just when I think hes winning
Just when I think Im thinking
He thought he had the pot in spades
He took a little gamble
So long and thanks for all the chips
And this, and this, and this, and this

One outstretched hand holds the map and the plan
take the map and orient good man
nine thousand times you have studied these lines
but tonights plan's chromo crystal clear
retrieve the treasure and dont be found out
no clowns allowed
dont roll around with the crowd
I rolled up to the shindig they dont mind
Frivolous girl offers coffee and pie
Dancing fellow caught my eye
Rival thief with a brand new hair do
sidle up close like i want to dance
all the while thinking nows my chance to
smile laugh a lot were having fun
the dance is done we must have stepped so fast that the gun must have fell
party people screaming and they're looking unwell
fortunate thiefs find the door quick release
run, find another bit of fun for free
free to steal all the junk you please
gold and silver gems and things you need
peace celebration of a thief

Greek Vase

No one in the hall can tell you, no one can know what I did
Last night something was busted, an old greek vase i guess
All this talking and scuffling, a vase is just a vase to you
Any old punk within earshot, has a case of broken greek vase blues
Left to my own devices I started wearing rubber masks
One is a rubbery witches face one is when i mow the grass
I double check the oceans and i check triple the sea
I rubber face the greek vase too
First old punks they get the books but after that they get the company
I dont say Im a young one, I wouldnt do a thing like that
I just care about greek vase, care about the hairline crack
I dont worry about them, they ain't gunna worry 'bout me
But tell me where is the money

Neck's Friend

You make the marks
I place the commas
This interview is psychodrama
I wonder who is staying calmer
I wonder who will flip the omelette
a spatula in each open palm
Who would have spoke what I said
My necks friend is also my head
who could have sold what I bought
The neck dont let the head get caught
In the basement of the head
Where Joey can keep his pet
Pet is biting off the hand
Joe is feeding off the land
I wonder where you stand?
I know you are interviewing me
But did you ever give your brother meat?
Thank you for not airbrushing me
But my head is filled tulips and breeze
Who could have guessed what I knew
You ask me one and I tell you two
Thank you for not ambushing me
But you dont understand in between

My Challenger

I run em in from mexico
How does it feel taped to a wheel?
and know what else? im double parked
nobody sits behind
nobody sits beside
carry no thumb, watch how you act
no need to race, cross into state
armed to the teeth, my challenger
these are thoughts that i havent said yet
then the man says, tell me whats in the back
you couldnt find it even if you tried less
my challenger
I could make a million with a match
turn on the head lights, ill pet the road map
a pound of insects is banging on the glass
im going back to chinatown
going to bed, talk to dragnet
dragnet is dead, who wants to run for other guys
he didnt seem to mind
he never crossed a line
challenger stalled, wheel to the wall
stop light
armed to the teeth
shed of the streets
break scrapes the pad
just wait a minute while i get out of dodge
i moved around with what i had
i wasn’t interested
i dont think its wrong
to smuggle cheap dope
to bribe the patrol
to drive the vehicle
thats taking the edge off the buyer that the money goes
my challenger

Shylocking shylocking
have you seen the giant?
or got information from the choir
hot line
shroud of fear
clouds and trees
his sunglasses his golden hair
we dont care
but beware
in his cave
no one dares
seven million miles deep
seven unsung words in his sleep
a secret
so if you need my system
1 over 6, my fee
but please dont be miserly
your wife is sick
your bills are high
these things happen
get back on your feet
1000 here
1000 there
1000 everywhere
hell take it anywhere
shylocking
pay the king
shylocking

I spy witness moving red flags.
Rude flag's lawman spies me.
Dont come near.
Talk traitor, ant of the field, dont come in here.
Talk traitor, cur unconcealed, talk crystal clear.
I spied distance mover slow down.
Slowed to flag the house down, got cracked down.
True killer, program revealed: Red flagger stealed.
Talk traitor, whisper to me, disappear.
You hide witness moving, taken aside
Recant testimony
I'll be in the tomb, baby
Talk traitor, talk of our deal, Talk crystal clear
Talk traitor, sing in the ear, Please be sincere
Walk traitor, run like a deer, dont come near
