Reckless creatures
always one another find
stealing features
each a diamond to be mined
there are facets at stake
and crooks in our neck
we're like moths to the flame
get ready and set
now tarry no longer
let's burn one another
we're one and we're twain
now let's play a game
Hello, hello, hello
beautiful stranger
how familiar the danger
slipping into the shadows
(Horsefeathers
the diamond looks much smaller in person)
Tis true, tis true, tis true
celebrities always do
us and our shadows, too
us and our shadows
High stakes, three shakes, no breaks
triple the wager
three clicks in the chamber
three chances to claim her
(And if I miss)
By the book, by hook, by rook
shadow takes all my pet
my what a strange duet
shadow takes all
Cunning creatures
slither front and slither back
Double dealers
double up for the attack
I would say that I'm hurt
but it wouldn't be true
The knife in my back
it reminds me of you
You're my beautiful stranger
the game is afoot
this is shadow's domain
so don't pussyfoot -
Shoot!
