lyrics

A Man Could Get Killed

Picture a man
Who was promised a world
Full of diamonds and pearls
A life to be had
Then look in his eyes
As he stands here today
Almost wasted away
The picture is sad

For this is the man who took on the world
Who lost all he had for the love of one girl
Didn’t you know a man could get killed?

Now as he walks endless streets in the rain
The spring has now passed
Leaving Autumn and pain
And he’ll talk to himself
Cos there’s no one around
He looks at the ground
She left him that way

For this is the man who took on the world
Who lost all he had for the love of one girl
Didn’t you know a man could get killed?

The fur and the lace is a deadly disguise
For nothing - but theatre performed for your eyes
Bravado and costume the whole masquerade
A perfumed seduction a threepenny charade
And then came the hour for the last curtain call
As they all rushed the stage people cried from the stalls
Didn’t you know a man could get killed?
