Revenge Lyrics - Robert Calvert

He went to work 

Went on with a Thompson gun 

Ten magazines and his case weighed a ton 

Booked a hotel room with a view of the street 

And a speakeasy bar room where the hoodlums all meet 

He sat up till dawn 

The sky was all torn 

The sun was a slaughter of red 

But he waited until he slayed before he went to bed 

For the one with the stick pin 

Who shot his daddy dead 

He knelt with the parts spread on the hotel room floor 

For cleaning and oiling when he heard the door 

He called out "Who's that?" 

And a voice said "The maid." 

He said "Come later, if you want to get laid." 

He waited till ten 

Then he saw the men 

Four men in a Ford limousine 

He fired through the curtain so he would not be seen 

And got all four of those men 

And he got away clean
