Blackjack Guillotine Lyrics - Singles - Savatage

Blackjack guillotine 

razor sharp 

Always clean 

gotta lie 

very wide 

once inside she knows what to do 

she knows what to do 

Skin tight 

China white 

just another neon life 

in the vein 

leaves a stain 

all the time you know that it's true 

you know that its true 

So tell me what you had in store 

it doesn't matter anymore 

it never did, it never will 

but i'll be out there waiting still 

You're moving fast but leaving tracks 

a compromise to your attacks 

there comes a time you want to take it back 

back 

Back 

Back 

but can't think of nothing i 

can't think of nothing i 

can't think of nothing i 

lack 

Junkie 

Credit card 

gotta vein 

goes for yards 

hypnotised 

you decide 

every neuron's changing its view 

changing its view 

Gentlemen 

Summarize 

every lie 

well disguised 

don't forget 

Neuron death 

in the mind awaiting its cue 

awaiting its cue 

And so we found it very mod 

the worshiping of lesser gods 

and lie they do 

for lie they must 

for they know it's the lie we trust 

And so we're out there laying tracks 

wherever there's a vein to pack 

there comes a time you want to take it back 

back 

back 

back 

back 

but i can't think of nothing 

i can't think of nothing 

i can't think of nothing 

i lack 

The sailor asked how so young a man 

could have fallen into such a trap 

and the ocean said the first time was with a friend 

who now can't take it back 

It was a friendly gesture 

as they all claim at the time 

when that friend or kindly stranger 

free of charge gave him his first line 

To harm this boy they're sure to say 

was never our intent 

and we were as shocked as anyone 

with just how far he went 

He never thought it dangerous 

as he stuck it in his vein 

that a needle that had seemed so short 

Could reach straight into his brain 

It was upon this very beach 

that his first line was tried 

and who'd have thought way back then 

that here is where he'd die 

If these words seem repetitious 

and the subject beaten dead 

the reason that i still say it 

is it still needs to be said
