I am a soldier baby who works just like a slave[00:00:00]
Sweating through the pain of digging his foxhole[00:00:04]
That he know is just a grave[00:00:07]
You trust me don't you baby you'd hand your life to me[00:00:09]
Let's walk along the wire and watch the muzzles flash like lightning[00:00:14]
Emmm ah smile safe crackers understand[00:00:18]
Is rendering this steady hand obsolete[00:00:22]
You thought you caught my sleight of hand[00:00:27]
But you could never understand no not me[00:00:32]
Father was a charming man with much hidden up his sleeve[00:00:36]
I wonder if this is what he planned[00:00:42]
When he taught his tricks to me[00:00:45]
The youngest was a clever boy cracking calculus by three[00:00:47]
The eldest was impractical and obsessively clean[00:00:52]
Then methere was [00:00:56]
I was born a charming man with silver tongue pearl teeth[00:00:57]
This's never how it's s'posed to end[00:01:00]
We were promised all we'd dream[00:01:02]
The envy of the everyman our family seemed complete[00:01:03]
Our father was a charming man our mother a sirene[00:01:04]
But now I'm on the run again this hotel's home to me[00:01:07]
They found the other skeleton face down in the stream[00:01:09]
The youngest was still tucked in bed[00:01:12]
That way they thought he was asleep[00:01:13]
They moved the mirror from his mouth[00:01:14]
The fog that should remain was not to be seen[00:01:15]
Not to be seen[00:01:18]
I am the doctor darling who used to operate[00:01:20]
But I couldn't stand the pain of healing[00:01:26]
Only t'watch another woman waste away[00:01:29]
You trust me don't you baby[00:01:30]
Yeah you'd hand your life to me let's set this barn on fire[00:01:33]
And watch the flames eat up the roof beams[00:01:38]
A smile safe crackers understand is rendering this steady hand[00:01:41]
Obsolete you thought I must have broken in[00:01:45]
But there's no crime in coming in they hand me the key[00:01:53]
Floating on the wind again on the tail of my quarry[00:01:58]
On a woman weak for charming men who's holding what I need[00:02:04]
She'll leave her window cracked for me[00:02:09]
And I'll draft in like a breeze[00:02:12]
My father was a charming man and I learned it all from he[00:02:13]
The brothers born of wondersmith we started as a team[00:02:18]
Like complimenting cogs and gears we built a head of steam[00:02:23]
The tragic flaw of charming men is exactly as it seems[00:02:28]
Too much grease can break down a machine[00:02:32]
Pour another round on me pour another round on me[00:02:37]
You know I'm good for it you know me[00:02:47]
You know I'm good for it you know my family[00:02:52]
I am a lover lady who sees just what you dream[00:02:57]
I know you're going crazy living with him an' without me[00:03:02]
You trust me don't you baby[00:03:07]
Yeah you'd hand your life to me let's leave this life tonight[00:03:09]
And race the sunrise down the highway[00:03:14]
A smile safe crackers understand[00:03:16]
Is rendering this steady hand obsolete[00:03:19]
The charm and confidence of men[00:03:24]
Can jam the bullets in your gun and stop heartbeats[00:03:29]
