Remember the way it used to be
When it was only you and me
Breaking and entering to see what we'd find
The way that we'd severe the phone lines
The way we'd hog tie all those hostages with twine
Yeah once we used twine but now we're twain
I won't let you sell me out again
Serving yourself so well
When I'm serving time
I remember you used to have a spine
But you hit the bricks and got me nicked
At the scene of the crime
Well i know it's been forever
I know i caused you pain
But you and me together
Can find ourselves again
Remember, you're my second floor man
I help you work the second floor
You drive my get away van
I keep a shotgun by the door
Together we'll see it through
Whatever we've got to do
Putting on to me and you
Holding on for one more score
Getting paroled was well and good
Got out of the hole back to the hood
Still what you stole from me
Got's to be made right
Man you don't know what it's like inside
You fucked off to Mexico
with my piece of the pie
You think it was easier for me
Feeling the guilt of being free
Sharing a beach house with a Mexican whore
I never felt so alone before
I never dreamed I'd have you by my side once more
But now i bought some new disguises
A fresh hunk of C4
We're in for some surprises
Behind an armoured door
So please tell me
That you're my second floor man
I help you work the second floor
You drive my get away van
I keep a shotgun by the door
Together we'll see it through
Whatever we've got to do
Holding on to me and you
Holding on for one more score
And i guess I'm wondering where those diamonds are
I wish you wouldn't worry about those diamonds
Seriously, where'd you put the diamonds
I told you the diamonds i placed in a very safe place
You're better off if you don't know exactly where they are
It's for your own protection now
SILENT
Where'd you put the diamonds
OK h-hold on, I put the diamonds in a very safe place
Don't bullshit me man i want my diamonds
I'm not bullshitting you, they're very safe and I I guess i gotta tell you, it's for your own protection that i put them there
I don't need your protection Jonathan
I know, well let me finish because the other thing is I'm frankly, i guess I'm a little surprised that to see that is is just about the money for you
Oh how dare you, how dare you make this about me
Oh how dare i? Well I'll tell you what, the reason it's about you is because its always been about you. Its its always been all about you
What are you talking about
I got you something
What like a present?
Welcome back buddy
It's beautiful
Oh open it
Oh OK ... it's a teddy bear
Yeah. Its got, its got angels wings
Oh no, it says my angel on it
Yeah. But it's really what counts is what's what's inside
I know that's always what counts
No seriously tear its throat open
Oh my God
I know it's not easy to forgive
when you are sharpening a shiv
So you can shank the bitch who punked you for fun
You're so insecure without your gun
But baby someone had to pay for what we'd done
I could forgive and then forget
If you would show me some respect
As long as i know you value my criminal mind
For a relationship to survive
Sometimes you gotta ride shotgun
And let someone else drive
Well we built this thing together
And what you say is true
If it means you'll be with me
Then i will work for you
It's your turn
You're my second floor man
I'll help you work the second floor
If you'll drive our get away van
you take shotgun Je ta door
Together we'll see it through
Whatever we've got to do
Holding on to me and you
Holding on for one more score
Holding on for one more score
Adam Stein ladies and gentlemen and Jonathan Coulton thank you very much guys
