lyrics

All the hipsters down on the strip
They don't hold back into the evening they rip
They play to win in this two bit penny arcade
They're packing pistols
Brandishing their blades

Taking sips of dutch courage to boot
Holding the folding
Packing the loot
I bet it all on 28 red
The wheel is spinning
Put this monkey to bed
Mean on the scene
Wearing the green

So we danced until we fell down
High as lightening
Playing the clown
But there's another side you don't wanna see
I'm a killer when the fire rises in me

So don't you jive me with that voodoo
Smoke and mirrors and that juju
I can see through that hullabaloo
Give me a lesson in confessin'
Or I swear boy
You better pray

Wake ém up
The quick and the dead
Shake this town
Knock ém all out of bed
I raise my collar
My hackles they rise
I'm a snake with a switchblade
And I'm ready to strike
Come out blazing in a hail of lead
