A Gangsters Passion
The Storm Pierre-Auguste Cot 1980
Like dead-end love letters
My words scatter in the wind
Like black rose petals
They’re trying to shake us down
With the rest of these fools
Racing in a panic
It’s a lost cause
Time is consuming us all
Pan’s playing his music
The masses march to his beat
I’ve been pulling my weight
To a different melody
In my heart, I felt your sorrow
In the middle of the night
Alone walking home
Looking over my shoulder
Praying I don’t get shot
Where gangs of devils
Kill one another
In their own filth,
poor souls crawl in the ghettos
I’m painting a portrait
Of passion and guilt
Betrayal and war
Like The Iliad
Helen of Troy
So, let’s ride
Like lightning and thunder
Joined together
I’m here to tend to your needs
Gentle as a breeze
And cover you up
With unconditional love
