Grifters - Charming Disaster

And wrap them 'round your finger

And take them for what they’ve got before they leave you

Well, I used to be a gambler

But, the odds were never good (Not in my favor)

My lucky stars were never my best feature (I rely upon my charm)

So, I cut it out with cards (And dice and betting at the races)

I was working much too hard

I was born to live the life of leisure

Let’s take this sleepy town by storm

And when the sheep have all been shorn

We’ll be gone just like the gentle breeze of yesterday

With your skills and my good looks

Those fish’ll be begging for the hook

Reeled in by our seductive serenade

The Bible says God’s creatures

All look out for number one (It's human nature)

This golden rule has been my bread and butter (What you do, do unto others)

You may plan to double cross me (Slip a dagger in their back)

But I’m sticking with this horse

If the con is long enough it doesn’t matter

Let’s take this sleepy town by storm

And when the sheep have all been shorn

We’ll be gone just like the gentle breeze of yesterday

With your skills and my good looks

Those fish’ll be begging for the hook

Reeled in by our seductive serenade

Well, I go by many names, dear

And some call me a snake (Bastard, cheat, and saint)

To others, I’m the closest of their friends (I keep my enemies much closer)

When they ask about my living (Exactly what is it you do?)

I give them no misgiving

'Cause what I trade in is their confidence

Since we met I don’t know if I’ve fallen for you, baby

Or if you’ve set me up to take the fall

Love is just another con

A fairy tale to lead them on

But together, baby, maybe we could love them all

Let’s take this sleepy town by storm

And when the sheep have all been shorn

We’ll be gone just like the gentle breeze of yesterday

With your skills and my good looks

Those fish’ll be begging for the hook

Reeled in by our seductive serenade

Let’s take this sleepy town by storm
