Lyrics

Hush Hush (C Cain, M Hammond)

Slipping out of shadows, out of daylight
To places where there’s no one that I know
Just can’t make her face out in the half light
Neon flickers outside a broken window

It’s on the hush hush, it’s on the “q.t.”

Running numbers, looking out for a shakedown
Skimming off the cream so no one knows
Making nice with bodyguards and killers
Knowing where to leave the cash alone

Perfect stands beyond the edge of darkness
Tempted like an insect to the flame
Choices only come with consequences
But it helps to find a way to shift the blame

Real estate deals look to good, too easy
Ripping off the poor folks just for style
Cleaning dirty money with new buildings
Smiling for the cameras, dressed up to the nines
