Con
the grifter took his papper
from china at the door
the till was cleaned out
an broken on the floor
cheater putn his foot down
ran a stop sign hitting sixty
had to make a deadline
and get across the city
the mark standing shaking
bag at his feet
going over in his head
the rules of the street
the dirty cop was waiting
past the city clock
he got it inhis head
he knew about the plot
cheater spots the mark
parks across the street
moves the money from a bag
that slides beneeth his seat
the blonde moves to the office
and sitts down at the desk
china straps tight
his bullet proof vest
the cop follows cheater
across the city holding back
the mark is getting shakey
he justn about to crack
the grifter makes a call
to the blonde from his room
tells her to get ready
its a going down soon
china climbs the stair
to the room with a bag
he packed wit a rope
a gun and a gag
cheater pulls up to the lights
cheacked his mirror twice
and clockes the cop two
cars behind things are looking nice
the mark follows cheater
situations in his mind
grifter meets them in the hall
now hes working blind
china waits behind the door
he heard them in the hall
the blonde slides over
looking good and standig tall
the tension had been thretend
by a knife
the mark was hoping to get out
and on with his life
the bag and the blonde
sat on the table then
the grifter started talkin
and tapping on his pen
china grabs the mark
pulled him to the ground
pulls a wire from his chest
said look what i found
they left him tied to the sink
blood on his cheast
left with no option was what
china said
grifter and the blonde
head for the car
but china and cheater never got that far
the dirty cop shotgun by his side
got them on the stairs
where they were trying to hide
heading for the sunset
with cash and lady luck
thinking its the last its time
to give it up
china holds his bars
thinking how he got played
and so cauled friends and marks he made
while grifter and the blonde sit in the sun
do you wonder who or whitch one won
