Savatage - Sammy And Tex lyrics

rate me

Hey D.T. what you been up to

It's been a real long time

And your bill's past due

Stop right there

Don't you look away

'Cause you've had your fun

Now it's time to pay

Well you know that I've been waiting

And I'm really very patient

But you've pushed me way too far

'Cause you own me thirty thousand

And with interest it's been growing

While you've hidden in these bars

Now I would have said duck it

But then money by the bucket

I hear you're raking in

So please forgive my diction

And prepare for crucifixion

While I write your next of kin

So please don't turn away

You borrowed now you've got to pay

Seems your mind's

Gone a bit off track

Time to readjust

'Cause Sammy's back

So Sammy started dealing

D.T. started reeling

As they tumbled to the floor

The furniture was flying

D.T. had thought of dying

When Tex walked through the door

Now Tex wasn't waiting

And without hesitation

Grabbed Sammy by the throat

Sammy started shakin'

A frightened slab of bacon

Hanging like a coat

Seemed things were going all right

Till Sammy pulled a knife

"If you want to cut the cards

Sammy's gonna up the odds"

Then everything was quiet

A street after the riot

Silence hung like death

And Tex he wasn't breathing

His body lay bleeding

A knife inside his chest

When D.T. saw his friend there

He quickly lost his terror

As something tore inside

His face was clenched in hatred

As his mind formulated

How this pimp would die

Sammy saw it in his eyes

Thought a retreat would be wise

"Seems I've stayed

A bit too long

So I'll take my things

And Sammy's gone"
