Dead Ringer
I’m a dead ringer for a gunslinger.
A rock ‘n roll singer and a stiff finger.
If you cross my path, don’tcha dare linger.
I’ll put you away to stay ‘cause I’m a dead ringer.
My eyes last night turned red at the sight
Of a young girl, she was all alone.
My blood was hot and believe it or not
I fed that poor girl a bone.
I fancy meeting the man off of his beat
Who’ll call my number and seek.
A knife in his middle; a dead man’s fiddle.
A grave on some dark street.
I’m a mudslinger, the bee’s stinger.
The bell ringer of the coming fight.
I’m the king that everybody hates.
The champion of sin and second rate.
Ringer, slinger, singer, finger.
Ringer, stinger, etc.
