Lyrics
Francis was a very bad merchant but a fine fine liar Francis was the paramount voyeur of his heart's desire Midnight, he is good and ready The peep show down in the tunnel city Kilbourn broke the cardinal rule for a contact high He thought it was a bad decision when he named his price Mainline 'til you're good and skinny It drips right down to the tunnel city The deadfall, it was good and ready We're the big bad men from the tunnel city Conrad wore the emerald glasses to preserve his pride Conrad he wore the fashion of the civilized He thought he was a paranoid fool 'til his own prying eyes Saw the deadfall The shanghaied Well this time, no he wasn't pretty The price he'll fetch is always plenty The deadfall, it was good and ready We're the big bad men from the tunnel city
