Old Gangsters Never Die

Who did you think you were?
Who did you think you were fooling?
You've been seeing too many movies
Where the bad guys were the heroes?

Everything started fine
And it looked like the seeds were sown
'Till you took up an evil stance
And you came on just like Al Capone

I had to leave or I'd have gone insane
Now, I hear, they say you've changed

Old gangsters never die
Old gangsters never die
Don't you ever wonder why? (Oh)

You had me when I was green
You made me feel so dependent
It satisfied your paranoia
To think I really needed you

Who did you think I was?
Did you think that I'd let it ride?
Put down that violin case
I know just what you're trying

I've got to leave you chill me to the marrow
There's just no way you're on the straight and narrow

Because, old gangsters never die
Old gangsters never die
Don't you ever wonder why? (Oh)

And when I finally climbed down off your shelf
You blamed everyone except yourself

Old gangsters never die
Old gangsters never die
They just fade into the night (oh)

Bye-bye
