lyrics

It never went to trial
An invincible man lying dead in the alley
They wanted to make an example out of him
Gambler oozing prime of life
And she was tender and prime
The witness can’t recall details
It seems he hit his head on the way in
Set in well after midnight
Masonry and original sin

Black night, black jack, in a black car

Pit boss caught the two in the alley
Cool night air replaced by hot rank breath
Never thought his gambler’s debt
Would be settled by reaching into the bag
No sympathy is given
Despite the wife and kids plea
They say a sucker’s born every second
It’s a stupid man’s disease

Black jack, black snake
Viper to be exact
And there’s no anti-venom
