Find out something only dead men know
Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold
From a clear blue sky and turn it off again
I can snap my fingers and require the rain
Silvio, silver and gold
Give what I got until I got no more
Seen better times, but who has not?
I can stroke your body and relieve your pain
I'm an old boll weevil looking for a home
Silvio, silver and gold
Let the echo decide if I was right or wrong
Honest as the next jade rolling that stone
Silvio, silver and gold
Silvio, I gotta go
Silvio, I gotta go
Find out something only dead men know
You know I love you and furthermore
I take what I get until I even the score
Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold
Ain't complaining 'bout what I got
And charm the whistle off an evening train
Silvio, silver and gold
One of these days and it won't be long
When it's time to go you got an open door
I will sing it loud and sing it strong
Since every pleasure's got an edge of pain
You give something up for everything you gain
Silvio, I gotta go
Pay for your ticket and don't complain
I can tell you fancy, I can tell you plain
Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold
Find out something only dead men know
When I come knocking don't throw me no bone
If you don't like it you can leave me alone
Find out something only dead men know
Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold
Silvio, I gotta go
Going down in the valley and sing my song
