"Casablanca (Rags And Riches)" lyrics
"Casablanca (Rags And Riches)"
In a first class compartment
Nine fingers heavy with greed
Traveling light incognito
The undertakers of need
The rags and the riches
Writing on the wall
You can read it in the Bible
For better for worse
There's no second chance
Your first mistake is final
Traffic jam in the city
The silent neat everywhere
Rendezvous in the dockside
A smell of rats in the air
The rags and the riches
Writing on the wall
You can read it in the Bible
For better for worse
There's no second chance
Your first mistake is final
Bull and bear in the market
Their gold and silver doth shine
Shots ring out the shadows
A sleeping partner in crime
The rags and the riches
Writing on the wall
You can read it in the Bible
For better for worse
There's no second chance
Your first mistake is final
A divisible fortune
The family gathered in grief
Fingers crossing in pockets
A superstitious belief
The rags and the riches
Writing on the wall
You can read it in the Bible
For better for worse
There's no second chance
Your first mistake is final

Skinny white sailor, the chances were slender, the beauties were brief

Stiff Little Fingers - "Johnny Was" Woman hold her head and cry
Cause her son had been shot down in the street and died
From a stray bullet
Woman hold her head and cry
Accompanying her was a passerby
Who saw the woman cry
