Hello, my friend
What can I do for you today?
You'd better be careful digging yourself that grave
It's not too late to change the way the game gets played
But I see you've read the writing on the wall

Come in, my friend
You know I'd hate to leave you dry
How can I be useful helping a friend get by?
The secret can't remain
That greed cannot sustain
But you've seen I hide the treasure down the hall

Seven dollars and a bad day
A gun in his hand when he came up next to me
Hope you're not going to do what you're going to
If you don't wanna do it my way,
Get out while you can
You've still got time to flee
Take a lesson from me,
It's the end of my story

Sorry boy but I hope it turns out alright
I would stay, but they tell me it's my time
Sorry boy but I hope it turns out alright
Alavida, auf Wiedersehen, and goodbye

Hello, my friend
No, I cannot see you today
You see, I've got business with an old friend down the way
Perhaps a later date
We'll get together then
But for now I hear them knockin' at the door

Seven dollars and a bad day
A gun in his hand when he came up next to me
Hope you're not going to do what I think you are going to
If you don't wanna do it my way,
Get out while you can
You've still got time to flee
Take a lesson from me,
It's the end of my story

Sorry boy but I hope it turns out alright
I would stay, but they tell me it's my time
Sorry boy but I hope it turns out alright
Alavida, auf Wiedersehen, and goodbye

So long, my friend
Perhaps we'll meet again some day
I should have been careful digging myself this grave
It's not too late to change
It can only end one way
You can find it in the writing on the wall
Yes, I hope you read the writing on the wall
