Lyrics:

Oh, the shoeshine man 

Well sold him some gold

Want to show me his money

In exchange for his soul

And show me his women

They drive a devil's car

And those fiery days

It's about to rain down on your soul

It's about to rain down on your world

May god have mercy on your soul

 

Oh the booming docks

Of the Frisco Bay

With the armless victims

Of the masquerade

Yeah and the firing bullets

Of the bastards' guns

The fiery days

It's about to rain down on your soul

It's about to rain down on your world

May god have mercy on your world

 

Oh, the shoeshine man

Well he got him some gold

Want to show me his money

In exchange for his soul

And he flash his women

In the devil's car

Those fiery days

It's about to rain down on your world

It's about to rain down on your world

It's about to rain down on your world

May god have mercy on your soul
