The genius and the gangster

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
