General Elektriks - The genius and the gangster lyrics

It's a real shame How you do what you do When you're done doing the things That got us hooked You know the things that got you famous Was it you who came? Or the man with the plans That you're hiding in the glitter in your eyes Cooking up a new lie I don't really wanna know I wouldn't want to spoil the show I wish you success but I must confess You're a genius and a gangster I wish you success but I must confess You're a genius and a gangster In the distance lies a town set ablaze By a man spitting fire when he talks The ground shakes when he walks Now he's at your door And the floor crackles, and the air sizzles The handle is red hot You take a step back in amazement Are you gonna open the door? You wouldn't want to spoil the show? I wish you success but I must confess You're a genius and a gangster I wish you success but I must confess You're a genius and a gangster
