GATE KEEPER by Tom Jensen
If it goes to trial
They got you on file
As a well-known liar
This whole time
The feds had it pegged
Were all wearing wires
You’re left to ask why
Not everyone tries
When bogged down in the mire
And it seems to me
You’re as high as can be
I don’t think it gets any higher
Time to make a deal
Before your fate’s sealed
The contract has expired
You see, going for broke
It leaves you broken
And cold and hungry
Yet you keep on hoping
That tomorrow
A new door will open
That’ll light the fire
And you’ll see that thing smokin’
You found yourself a game
That you really want to play
“Oh won’t you deal me in?”
They’ve been waiting for you to say…
Gate keeper, gate keeper
I can dig a little deeper
Please tell me what you require
Would you have me walk across the water?
Or are you thinking of something hotter?
Am I sensing a cleansing by fire?
Oh those eyes I see them rise in desire
As beads of sweat from your forehead perspire…
Gate keeper, gate keeper
Oh won’t you let me into your little show
Gate keeper, gate keeper
Oh tell me all the secrets
That we both know you know
If it goes to trial
They got you on file
As a well-known liar
This whole time
The feds had it pegged
Were all wearing wires
You’re left to ask why
Not everyone tries
When bogged down in the mire
And it seems to me
You’re as high as can be
I don’t think it gets any higher
Time to make a deal
Before your fate’s sealed
The contract has expired
You see, going for broke
It leaves you broken
And cold and hungry
Yet you keep on hoping
That tomorrow
A new door will open
That’ll light the fire
And you’ll see that thing smokin’
You found yourself a game
That you really want to play
“Oh won’t you deal me in?”
