Electric Jive
I was lost in the blue on LaRue Avenue
Every face every place reminded me of you
You’re a demon who ascended to heaven’s gate
I know a lot of bad words and the worst of them is wait
The streets are alive in electric jive
Gotta be quick in the trick to survive
Reality it cuts just like a knife
Electric jive it’ll save your life
Big Tiny was hustling numbers hoping to score
You know you’re a gambler if you always want more
I bet my heart and soul it was all that I had
Even in sin when you win it’s natural to be glad
The streets are alive in electric jive
Gotta be quick in the trick to survive
Reality it cuts just like a knife
Electric jive it’ll save your life
Well the cards were marked and they delt from down below
There was going to be a fight from the get go
A year’s wages of chips sitting on the table
A smokey room a gambler’s doom straight out of a fable
The streets are alive in electric jive
Gotta be quick in the trick to survive
Reality it cuts just like a knife
Electric jive it’ll save your life
My love hearts fall to diamonds cause money’s supreme
The ultimate score’s the wicked whore of my dream
When things become rough you need more than words to bluff
I was hoping that my sweet six shooter would be enough
Somewhere there’s a dead man with a bullet in his brain
Somewhere there’ s a conman with a story to explain
I’m a wanted man the scourge of the underground
And baby that’s the real reason I’m nowhere to be found
The streets are alive in electric jive
Gotta be quick in the trick to survive
Reality it cuts just like a knife
Electric jive it’ll save your life
