Sarcastic title begets sardonic song?
Sardonic title begets sarcastic song?

lyrics

He's all covered in panther sweat
feeling like death but he's not dead yet
He bites his lip while he's placing the bet
His only sin is regret.

He played some social disease roulette.
Got laid with someone that he just met.
Drank till he's blind, see if he'd forget.
now the devil has smoked his last cigarette.

Aggression flies when you get upset.
Blood pressures up and your soaking wet.
Now what you give is what you will get.
for such a bloody & painful debt.

her choice to roll with the gypsy set
seemed nothing more than a minor threat
now she's a chalk line silhouette
washing away down on Lafayette.
