The shakedown

I'm shaking these raindrops from my armor
Dripping on your Persian rug
Slipping the gun from its warm black holster
Cleaning the blade, run out of luck
Do you care?
Do you dare?

The killer a stranger to deceive
So easy to create unease

Now comes the shakedown
Wash off the blood
Face up to the guilts of crime
Remove the slug

I'm shaking the cobwebs from your ceiling
Dropping them on your mirror view
Slapping some paint on the chips and cracks
Hurling the shadows onto you
Do you care?
Do you dare?

The killer a stranger to deceive
So easy to create unease

Now comes the shakedown
Wash off the blood
Face up to the guilts of crime
Remove the slug

Smoldering ashes fall from grace
Handing the matches to confess
Washing the petrol on my ugly face
Watching the fire do the rest
Do you care?
Do you dare?

The killer a stranger to deceive
So easy to create unease

Now comes the shakedown
Wash off the blood
Face up to the guilts of crime
Remove the slug
