One fine day I started writing home  
One finds  
It’s so hard  
To make it  
It’s gotta be the right time  
It’s gotta be the right kind line  
It’s gotta be the mainline

Oh please say to me  
You’ll let me be your man  
And please say to me  
You’ll let me hold your hand

You’ll let me hold your hand  
I want to hold your hand

And when I touch you I feel happy inside  
It’s such a feeling that my love  
I can’t hide, I can’t hide, I can’t hide

Don’t play games when you’re broken hearted  
Don’t try to finish what you ain’t got started  
If you’ve got problems then don’t bring them to me

You’re one sad and sorry son of a bitch  
I hope you’re gone for good  
I offer my condolences to your new neighborhood  
And if worthlessness was talent  
You could stand and take a bow  
You used to be a friend of mine  
But I can’t stand you now!

We’ll how am i supposed to feel  
with all the things you don’t reveal  
and you can thank your lucky stars  
that we’re not as smart as we’d like to think we are.

Try not to get worried, try not to turn on to  
Problems that upset you, oh.  
Don’t you know  
Everything’s alright, yes, everything’s fine.

Saw a shark today,  
Ate a man, and then,  
Just swam away.  
But it wasn’t okay,  
No, it wasn’t okay.

You know, I spent 15 years in a life raft  
15 years in a life raft and now I got something to say  
Stay in your life boats people,  
Stay in your life boats people.  
It’s murder out there murder out there  
Sharks patrol these waters

Don’t try to run, there’s no way to survive  
A vicious surrender, I’ll eat you alive  
No one is safe until I get my fill  
All hear my warning : I’m king of the kill !

Straddle the line, in discord and rhyme  
I’m on the hunt I’m after you.  
Mouth is alive with juices like wine  
And I’m hungry like the wolf

Once that you’ve decided on a killing  
First you make a stone of your heart  
If you find that your hands are still willing  
Then you can turn a murder into art

So for the old man  
Ashes to ashes, earth to earth and dust to dust  
No one will see me  
No one with guilt to share, no secret soul to trust

And he won’t be found at all  
Not a trace to mark his fall  
Nor a stain upon the wall

Bloodstained velvet dirty lace  
Naked fear on every face  
See them bow their heads to die  
As we would bow when they rode by

The gods may throw a dice _(sic)_  
Their minds as cold as ice,  
And someone way down here  
Loses someone dear.  
The winner takes it all,  
The loser has to fall.  
It’s simple and it’s plain.  
Why shoud I complain?

And when I played my hand I looked like a joker  
Turn around fate must have woke her  
Cause lady luck she was waiting outside the door  
I’m winning and I don’t intend on losing again
