lyrics

you feel the click of the white bones
as they permutate in his hand
then they fly and his one cold eye
records your fate as they land

you thought today was your big day
you thought that you had to win
but when the cat rolls the dice
there’s no hope for little mice
and now you’re losing again

hey now watch out
the night is coming down
you gotta pay your dues
to walk these avenues
‘cause jackie owns this town
so, if you see him coming
don’t you look him in the eye
for greater men have crumbled
and lesser men have died

jackie
oh, jackie

hold your tongue now
and let the fear sing from your heart
it’s a dark comedy
wrapped in a tragedy
and jackie plays his part
he’ll cut you for a dollar
he’ll join you for a shot
he’ll love you if you’re willing
he’ll take you if you’re not

hey now watch out
the night is coming down
you gotta pay your dues
to walk these avenues
‘cause jackie owns this town
so, if you see him coming
don’t you look him in the eye
for greater men have crumbled
and lesser men have died
