Shattered Cross Songtext
von The Raphaels

You don′t mess around with a man in black
You'll say something wrong that you can′t take back
You'll go for a ride in his automobile
To a spot in the woods just over the hill
No, you don't mess around with a man in black
You don′t fool around with a woman in red
You′ll wake up alone in a cold, barren bed
She'll empty your pockets and rip out your heart
And leave you the ruins of a life torn apart
No, you don′t fool around with a woman in red
You never make deals with a guy named Doc


You'll have a gun in your hands by twelve o′clock
'Neath the sodium lights with your heart in your throat
Your life won′t amount to a bottle of smoke
No, you never make deals with a guy named Doc
Don't bring me your tales of temptation and loss
The rags of your dreams, your shattered cross
I've heard your confession, I know who you blame
If you had it all back you′d just lose it again
Can′t bank on redemption if you aint saved
So don't bring me your tales of temptation and loss
Oh don′t bing me the pieces of your shattered cross
