The Tiger Lillies - Con Man lyrics
[The Tiger Lillies - Con Man lyrics]
This is my strange story an orphan am I
My father killed my mother
Do you know a reason why
'Cause my father and my mother a
Con man did them have
My mother fell in love with him
And he conned my dad
And when my father he found out
My mother he did kill
Though she thought the scam was legit
He gave it to her still
Then he turned the gun on
Himself and dropped down dead
While I lay hidden underneath
Underneath the bed
But why am I in prison cell
'cause I followed his career
The man who killed my mother
And my father dear
So now I hang around in bars
My next victim to find
Just like the man who robbed my father blind
And as I perform my scam I even use his name
The man on whom my parents’ death is blamed
So round and round the pattern goes
Life it is a game
Round and round it goes but
It always stays the same
Maybe in a way I am gaining my revenge
Conning other people their death to avenge
My father killed my mother
Do you know a reason why
'Cause my father and my mother a
Con man did them have
My mother fell in love with him
And he conned my dad
And when my father he found out
My mother he did kill
Though she thought the scam was legit
He gave it to her still
Then he turned the gun on
Himself and dropped down dead
While I lay hidden underneath
Underneath the bed
But why am I in prison cell
'cause I followed his career
The man who killed my mother
And my father dear
So now I hang around in bars
My next victim to find
Just like the man who robbed my father blind
And as I perform my scam I even use his name
The man on whom my parents’ death is blamed
So round and round the pattern goes
Life it is a game
Round and round it goes but
It always stays the same
Maybe in a way I am gaining my revenge
Conning other people their death to avenge
