Dare Master

(I haven't seen you for a week

I'm worried but uh, where's the money?

There's certainly no way you would...

would ya?)

You wouldn't dare to leave me

No not at all

I wasn't followed so please

Return my call

I doubled back

I knocked three times

The door was open wide

All the wool in our bed

Sliced and turned outside

You wouldn't dare to leave me

Not with all I know

Your mama's bar

Your brothers trainyard

Everywhere you'd go

So I took a powder cross the tracks

Found your family too

When I asked if they'd seen ya

All they said was "who?"

Law on my tail I can smell when I've been framed

So I took your picture knockin

and got a bunch of different names

Heard the stories of the others you'd set up to take the fall

And how they all looked just like me,

guess that's why you didn't call

I mighta believed that you got drunk and spilled

All about our job,

damn near got you killed

I'd call it my mistake,

find a safer place to hide

It don't add up and I might be a fool

Cause I never really had no special schoolin'

But two and two sure don't make a five

My head hunt starts tonight

--

Lost the cops

found a dive

got drunk enough for three

Cried the blues a bit too loud and got bounced to the street

my tale of your two timing and the way that I was framed

Won myself a helpful tip from one of your old flames

Drank some coffee

cleaned my revolver

strapped it to my side

I could have kissed the dame who told me exactly where you'd hide

Slipped the window open

kicked your carcass out of bed

Now you!

Tell the truth!

Or the next one's in your head

You would not dare to leave me

no no not through that door

The hot lead won't be whizzin by

you'll just hit the floor

It was a job before the pleasure ride

If you'd have shot straight and hadn't lied

We'd split the take and then split for good

But hey!

Get back down!

Understood?

You would not dare to leave me and even if you do

Hey

check out this pretty little wanted poster

This fellow kinda looks like you

I ripped your mug off the postman's wall

Dropped em one of them anonymous calls

So my aim is getting steady and my temp is getting warmer

They say it's dead or alive

I'll make sure it's the former

If you dare to leave me,

if you dare to leave,

choose wise

Do you want a ball and chain around your ankles?

Or one between your eyes?

(Go on and leave. I dare ya.)
