One:too:many for me.<br>
<br>
Who's it gonna be?<br>
<br>
(to Black) Take one step<br>
Go on, make one move<br>
Show your love<br>
You've got a chance to prove it<br>
Knock me out<br>

Brother, lose o win<br>
You're gonna make me happy.<br>
<br>
(to Queenie) Break my heart<br>

Sugar, win or lose<br>
You're gonna make happy<br>
<br>
In my hands your future was golden <br>
Now it's what I hold in my palm<br>
In my hands you made a good living<br>
Giving me the quiet and calm<br>
<br>
In my hands you promised forever<br>
But I see you're dropping the ball<br>
In my hands<br>
You fly<br>
Or you fall!<br>
<br>
BLACK BURRS <br>
Burrs, you dog <br>
Shut your hole <br>

You don't know this girl <br>
Play her Do tell... <br>
<br>
And you gotta wake up early <br>
Don't push me, <br>
Don't push me <br>
<br>
Drop that gun Oh, right... <br>
Come on, take it slow <br>
I'm growing weary <br>
Let her go <br>
And you're gonna make me happy. And that doesn't make me happy. <br>
<br>

<br>
BLACK, BURRS & QUEENIE<br>
In my hands the future is crying<br>
Rising high or dying in vain.<br>
In my hands Salvation is nearing<br>
Steering me from permanent pain<br>
With my hands I'm asking a question<br>
But I know the answer too well<br>
In my hands:<br>
Heaven<br>
Or Hell.<br>
<br>
BURRS<br>
Who's it gonna be?<br>
Who's it gonna be?<br>
Who's it gonna be?<br>
Who's it gonna be?<br>
Who's it gonna be?<br>
<br>
(to Queenie) He says he'll die for you<br>
Well, now don't you wanna know?<br>
Don't you wanna know?<br>
Would he really die for you<br>
Or is that just the after-dinner show?<br>
We've got a situation<br>
Shit or get off the pot<br>
(to Black) So what do you say, <br>
You wanna give her away?<br>
Or do you wanna get<br>

BURRS (to Black) QUEENIE BLACK <br>

(Burrs point the gun at Black.) <br>
Burrsie Don't do it <br>

The gun goes off. Burrs has been shot and killed.)<br>
