Modern Life Is War - Stagger Lee songtekst
Je score:
My name is Stagger Lee And I'm walking through the ice and snow And my girl threw me out last week and I'm fucking broke Only got a starter in my pocket and my colt.45 Don't look at me the wrong cause I got nothing to lose tonight Walk into JD's and put a dollar down Turn the dollar into a few I start drinkin' and I turn around 'cause I feel a pair of eyes burning into the back of my neck And he's whisperin' to the barkeep The God-damned fool won't stop staring at me So I shoot up from my seat and press the cold steel to his head And said "don't you know who the fuck I am?" He said "Stagger Lee, please don't take my life, I've got a kid back home, and I've got a wife." He said "Please Stagger please, I'm a friend not a foe, And your girl's with Billy at the Flamingo, I just thought you should know. I pistol-whip him in the teeth and walk outside Steal the first fast car I see And as my blood starts to boil I start to take a little ride I leave the car running Pull down the brim of my black Stetson hat I look around and I see no witness One last drink from my silver flask I kick open the door See the bodies inter-twined See the fear in their eyes I pull my Colt .45 And I feel divine Whoa! Stagger Lee You're a bad, bad man Oh, Stagger Lee You're going straight to hell Stagger Lee Stagger Lee You're a bad, bad man Oh, Stagger Lee You're going straight to hell
