DAll the vultures tuning in to Glitter Gulch
Are Elooking in on you
And they're Ahungry
He stood five feet tall in his elevator shoes and stovepipe hat
He was known by several different names
Prompted by Madam X he answered all their questions
And then after that he said I'm sick and tired of stupid games
(chorus)
GWe've got prizes if you can afford
Some Dsmall humiliation before you get your reward
And I'd Grather be an outlaw than an inlaw to you
And to live my life in miserable A(7)poverty
A7Than to have to grovel to have some dream home hovel
So watch me while I get aGway with prime time robbeAry
(chorus)
As he enters Madam X he things of red raged faces and the sweet greenbacks
He climbed upon his honey and he covered her with money
As they do their victory dance
He thinks I hope they choke upon their laughter tracks
They can all go straight to hell while we howl down the whole hotel

You've been taken in this time

D G

You might just get out alive if you're lucky

All the vultures tuning in to Glitter Gulch

Are looking in on you

And they're hungry

He stood five feet tall in his elevator shoes and stovepipe hat

He was known by several different names

Prompted by Madam X he answered all their questions

And then after that he said I'm sick and tired of stupid games

(chorus)

We've got prizes if you can afford

Some small humiliation before you get your reward

And I'd rather be an outlaw than an inlaw to you

A(7)

And to live my life in miserable poverty

Than to have to grovel to have some dream home hovel

G A

So watch me while I get away with prime time robbery

(chorus)

As he enters Madam X he things of red raged faces and the sweet greenbacks

He climbed upon his honey and he covered her with money

As they do their victory dance

He thinks I hope they choke upon their laughter tracks

They can all go straight to hell while we howl down the whole hotel
