Shiny Steel Blade - Bain Wolfkind

Shiny Steel Blade Lyrics

Handsome stranger came a'callin
To this town of sin and vice
Handsome stranger came a'callin
With a pair of loaded dice
Drove a brand new Cadillac
In his hand a shiny steel blade
All those little perfumed things
Oh, they had it made
But all dice are loaded
And all blades are shiny and sharp
They found one afloat in the harbor
And another cut up in the park
So the streets were run with blood
They found by the river deep in the mud
And laying by each victim a pair of shiny new dice
Stay away from gambin' halls was the sheriff's advice
All in all thirty victims fell to the blade
Fifty years to the date the tale's starting to fade

They found one afloat in the harbor
And another
They found one afloat in the harbor
And another cut up in the park
