BEIRUT 1965
BEACHES, CLUBS, CASINOS, LIFE
GOT SOME CARGO TO MOVE
THINGS ON THE LINE
COMING IN FROM THE TAURUS MOUNTAINS
SHIPPING TO MARSEILLE ON THE ENCHANTRESS
HEROIN, IT`S VOYAGE HAS BEGUN
THE DEAL IT GOES DOWN AT DAWN 

THREADS AND CONNECTIONS
THAT`S WHAT THE WORLD WAS ABOUT
THREADS AND CONNECTIONS
FOR MONEY THERE WAS NEVER A DOUBT

LOOK BACK AND SEE
THE PATTERN LAID DOWN FOR ETERNITY
CROSS THE LINE AND BLEED
THE LIFE OF A JUGGLER
THE LIFE OF A SMUGGLER

IF THIS ONE FAILS, NO!
GOT ANOTHER SCORE FROM ALEPPO
IN ISTANBUL GOT EVEN TWO MORE
DRUGS, GUNS, FURS, GIRLS, GOLD AND DIAMONDS
Ì`M THE JACK I`M THE JOKER IN THE STACK
PLAYIN` TRICKS WITH RATS AND LIONS
I`M A POKER IN FORTUNE`S NEST
WALKING WITH A PROUD HARD ON

THREADS AND CONNECTIONS
THAT`S WHAT THE WORLD WAS ABOUT
THREADS AND CONNECTIONS
FOR MONEY THERE WAS NEVER A DOUBT

LOOK BACK AND SEE
THE PATTERN LAID DOWN FOR ETERNITY
CROSS THE LINE AND BLEED
THE LIFE OF A JUGGLER
THE LIFE OF A SMUGGLER

I WOULD DIE I WOULD DIE I WOULD DIE 
I WOULD DIE
