A Lean And Hungry Look – Marianne Faithfull (from “Truands” soundtrack)

Beware the thin man
Beware what can’t be written in a book
Guard against betrayer’s blades
That killer has a lean and hungry look

And if you think power protects you, it doesn’t
No one comes near to help you
To your aid

Just one
One more betrayal
Before you die
One last cigarette

Your enemies are mind to kill you
And the rationales already made
Deadly with intent they come towards you
An escape, an exit
There is none
And look, among the men
Who mind you kill you

Just one
One more betrayal
Before you die
Before you die
One last cigarette

There is one, almost a brother (Just one)
Who you think of as a son
One more betrayal
Before you die
Before you die
One last cigarette

Just one more betrayal, as you die
