I Hear You Paint Houses |
Shall we take a little spin? |
To the dark side of town |
You went up against the mob |
And now the curtain’s comin' down |
They ordered me to make the hit |
And there will be dust and bones |
They want him buried in the ground |
Where he never will be found |
I hear you paint houses |
You’re a gun for hire |
I hear you paint houses |
Down to the wire |
I hear you paint houses |
Was all they had to say (Was all I had to say) |
Some call it street justice (Street justice) |
When they carry you away |
Hope my father up above |
Will forgive me for my sins |
He raised me up to know better |
But now the walls are closin' in |
I got caught up in this wicked world |
But it is the life I chose |
When you fall into the snake pit |
Where the emperor has your clothes |
I hear you paint houses |
You’re a gun for hire |
I hear you paint houses |
Right down to the wire |
I hear you paint houses |
Was all they had to say (Was all I had to say) |
Some call it street justice (Street justice) |
When they carry you away |
I trusted him, he trusted me |
One of us made a big mistake |
When you cross the big boss |
You ain’t gonna catch a break, no |
I got a bullet with your name on it |
And I’ve got a job to do |
The results ain’t too pretty |
Puttin' the cement in your shoes |
I hear you paint houses |
A gun for hire |
I hear you paint houses (I hear you paint houses) |
Right down to the wire (Right down to the wire) |
I hear you paint houses (Houses) |
Was all they had to say (Was all I had to say) |
Some call it street justice (Call it street justice) |
When they carry you away (When they carry you away) |
