lyrics

You must be new. You must be used. You must be sick of stumbling around. Well I got good news, yeah, I’m here for you. Just don’t forget I’m the one who runs this town. These streets are cold and mean, but their bricks made of gold are worth everything. I can share if you like, but it comes with a price. Always cheap, yes, but never free. But maybe you’ll fair fine, Alone in moonless night. On second thought, you’re better off just sticking with me. Who knows what kind of trouble you could get in if you give up on this company? Around here, the wolves that lead all wear the latest sheep. Around here, the one who gets the final say bares the sharpest teeth. And that’s me. You better stick with me. I must oblige to be your guide, your ignorance will find you dead. It’s sad, it’s true, but hear me you: instead of killed I’d rather get you fed. I’ll make you rich, I’ll make you mine, I’ll make a prince out of the poor. Hand me your soul, and nothing more, And I’ll show you worlds with open doors. Oh, alone you may fair fine as you tempt these streets at night, while the thought of our goodbye brings terror to your mind. Around here, the wolves will tear right through the toughest meat. That’s why, around here, I always keep the sharpest teeth. You better stick with me. I bare the sharpest teeth.
