"The Quick and the Dead"

By Tony Sciuto - Derek Pellicci

He did some damage when he was a kid

Psychotic strings attached to all that he did

He roamed the backstreets with partners in crime

But there were singular actions in the back of his mind

His friends grew up he grew downward instead

And there’s two kind of people

THE QUICK AND THE DEAD

Two kind of people the QUICK AND THE DEAD

He got more crazy as the future rolled by

These faint little voices keep telling him why

He craved the headlines and the 9 ‘o Clock news

But there was no sense of feeling in his radical views

He was a dreamer in a comfortable bed

And there’s two kind of people the

QUICK AND THE DEAD

Two kind of people the QUICK AND THE DEAD

Mountains of gold from one little seed

Wasted away by the demon of greed

Out of the manger into his final act

He lost all power in his castle of dreams

New kids arriving with lucrative schemes

He spent a lifetime as the consummate clown

But there he was all alone as the curtain came down

He should’ve quit when he was so far ahead

But there’s two kind of people the QUICK AND THE DEAD
