This is a song about a person who burns their fingertips off in order to commit crimes without being caught.
This mix was done by my friend Shadoe
lyrics
Well hello, and thank you for your hospitality.
I know there are many others here quite like me
from university crooks
to the mentally derailed
from chemical cooks, and all the re-jailed
But for all your little booking details
and what I've said, won't be true.
and I've burnt my fingertips, just for you.
Dont ask me why, you already know
my twisted story
and the lies that I sew.
I was hired when you caught me
and I needed the dough
so let's move this along now, you oughta let me go.
Oh lawyer help me please, I cant seem to find any Identity
or a single friend of mine
to speak on my behalf
to get this judge off my back
Oh hear what I say,
and watch me sail away
I don't mean to leave you astray, but I'll be on my way.
Well hello, and thank you for your opportunity.
I know there are many others here quite like me
from grand theft
to folks just like me.
to international money laundering.
But for all your little booking details
and what I've said, won't be true.
and I've burnt my fingertips, just for you.
