Story Behind The Song

Got caught up in daydreaming after a movie and the lyrics came to me.

Song Description

Vinnie is in love with another man's wife, and Vinnie takes her life to end the pain of not having her. Tony vows to take Vinnie's soul, and chases him...ends with Vinnie holding a gun.

Lyrics

Vinny
Vinny put the gun down, it's sad, I think you're going mad
Just walk away, from all your pain.

Killing me won't make it better make it worse
Just another dead body and a killers curse,
But if you'd like just shoot.

But Vinny shot his lover instead, he took one shot she was dead
He turned around the devil he laughed

And he said "What is wrong and what is right?"
"These questions keep me up at night, I fear repentance most."

And then he left without a word, to live by gun to die by sword
Another troubled soul, walking this wasteland.


"I'm sorry Tony, she's dead," the police officer said
"Her death was swift, the murderer gone"

"But it seemed she loved another man, It seems she died by his own hand."
"That's karma at its best"

Then Tony made a silent vow, the mafia to him they bow
He'd take the killers soul.

But Tony that's ironic, oxymoronic, cuz revenge is for the weak and for the weak it's like a tonic.
Your plan it strives to err,

Why do you care? You've got nine other girls, with big fake tits and long blonde curls.
Who died and made you think, you're king of this waste land?



Run, run, run, yes they are on your tail,
The police and the mafia, they've got you in their sights

The night is so unforgiving, we all mourn death but this ones to living
I hope you know that the shows about to end
I hope you get away but man I think you'll end up dead.

Chorus

Oh Vinny go..woh oh oh
Oh Vinny go...woh oh oh
Man you don't wanna stay, just put that pistol in your bag and Vinny go, go, go.
