Razor Boy Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I hear you are singing a song of the past
I see no tears
I know that you know it may be the last
For many years
You'd gamble or give anything to be in with
The better half
But how many friends must I have to begin with
To make you laugh?
[Chorus]
Will you still have a song to sing
When the razor boy comes
And takes your fancy things away?
Will you still be singing it
On that cold and windy day?
[Verse 2]
You know that the coming is so close at hand
You feel alright
I guess only women in cages can stand
This kind of night
I guess only women in cages can play down
The things they lose
You think no tomorrow will come when you lay down
You can't refuse
[Chorus]
Will you still have a song to sing
When the razor boy comes
And takes your fancy things away?
Will you still be singing it
On that cold and windy day?
[Verse 2]
I guess only women in cages can play down
The things they lose
You think no tomorrow will come when you lay down
You can't refuse
[Chorus]
Will you still have a song to sing
When the razor boy comes
And takes your fancy things away?
Will you still be singing it
On that cold and windy day?
