Five Years Dead Lyrics
Uptown downtown
Haven't seen your face around
Paper said you shot a man
Trigger happy punk down in Chinatown
You're five years dead
Sexy Sue from Hong Kong
Asked around right or wrong
Outa town change your name
Or ya get five years with a ball and chain
You're five years dead
Your life's on a steady tilt
I stand around and watch you wilt
Lose or win, never mattered - mattered to you
They alwais said you'd fall apart
I took the bet, but I missed the mark
The kid was bad - bad from the start
Left, right, up and down
Same old sunaround
Neighborhood professional
Your ass is runnin' into the ground
You're five years dead
Uptown downtown
Haven't seen your face around
Paper said you shot a man
Trigger happy punk down in Chinatown
Haven't seen your face around
Paper said you shot a man
Trigger happy punk down in Chinatown
Asked around right or wrong
Outa town change your name
Or ya get five years with a ball and chain
I stand around and watch you wilt
Lose or win, never mattered - mattered to you
They alwais said you'd fall apart
I took the bet, but I missed the mark
The kid was bad - bad from the start
Same old sunaround
Neighborhood professional
Your ass is runnin' into the ground
Haven't seen your face around
Paper said you shot a man
Trigger happy punk down in Chinatown
