the mechanisms - lucky sevens lyrics

[verse 1: smooth mickey]
in the dyin’ light of malone’s twin suns
setting o’er the cityscape
i find you in the back of an orphan-house
dreamin’ of escape

[verse 2: smooth mickey]
well, the name’s smooth mickey, i been watchin’ your work
an’ i like the way that it burns
but ya don’ understand who runs this world
an’ i think it’s time you learned

[chorus: smooth mickey]
well, the lucky sevens, they rule the streets
the dice are loaded an’ they play for keeps
the fire burns bright
in the cool, dark night
when the sevens are in luck

[verse 3: smooth mickey]
so take my hand an’ let’s get out of here
uncle mickey will show ya the way
we can use your pyromaniacal talents
ashes, what d’ya say?

[verse 4: ashes o’reilly]
well, all eleven years of my life
i’ve been alone, and now there’s you
so hand me the matches and the gasoline
‘cause we’ve got work to do
[smooth mickey] “yes we do.”

[chorus: ashes o’reilly]
well i’m a lucky seven, i’m a mob elite
i got loaded dice and i was born to cheat
the fire burns bright
in the heat of the night
when the sevens are in luck

[instrumental]

[verse 5: ashes o’reilly]
mickey, i’ve been a seven a long long time
twelve years if it’s been a day
but the aces are moving on our turf
and they seem to know our play

[smooth mickey] “whatcha saying?”

[verse 6: ashes o’reilly]
we got a stool pigeon in our ranks
i’ve been hunting down the snitch
well the trail leads back to you, uncle dear
and paybacks gonna be a b-tch

[verse 7: smooth mickey]
well, i always knew ya were a real smart kid
i figured you might track me down
but they don’t call me smooth mickey for nothin’
i’m the big boss of this town

[verse 8: smooth mickey]
well, ya see, i needed a fall guy
for the sevens to send to the grave
an’ by the smoke that ya smell and the heat that ya heels
you can guess whose name i gave

[chorus: smooth mickey]
well, the lucky sevens, they got you beat
your dice may be loaded, but they melt in the heat
the fire burns bright
under you tonight
‘cause ashes, you’re outta luck

[verse 9: smooth mickey]
oh, the fire scorches your flesh
an’ the smoke fills your lungs
looks like ya rolled snake-eyes
ashes o’reilly
i guess your game is done

[instrumental]

[smooth mickey] “ashes?! no no no, ain’t no way, i saw you burn”
ashes: “yeah, it’s, uh, it’s funny how that worked out for you, isn’t it?”
[smooth mickey] “what, what happened here, it was nothing personal… join up with me an’ the aces –
[ashes o’reilly] “uh-huh.”
[mickey] – we’re gonna rule this world.”
[ashes o’reilly] “nah, i’ll think i’ll p-ss, actually.”
[smooth mickey] “k!lling me ain’t gonna do ya no good, ashes!”
[ashes o’reilly] “oh, but it’ll make me feel so much better”
[smooth mickey] no, wait, wait, wait, it’s not just me. the aces, the sevens, the cops – they’re all in it together. whatcha gonna do? ain’t enough gasoline out there to burn down an entire planet.”
[ashes o’reilly] “it’s funny, actually, i might’ve believed you, if you’d said that a while ago. but… things have changed.”
[smooth mickey] “no, ashes… ashes wait!

[match strike]

[smooth mickey] aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

[chorus: both]
well, the lucky sevens they lost their game
loaded dice don’t help when your world’s aflame
the fire burns bright
everywhere tonight
‘cause the sevens
the sevens
the sevens are out of luck
