Lyrics of 'Con Man' by The Tiger Lillies

This is my strange story an orphan am I
My father killed my mother, do you know a reason why
'Cause my father and my mother a con man did them have
My mother fell in love with him and he conned my dad

And when my father he found out my mother he did kill
Though she thought the scam was legit he gave it to her still
Then he turned the gun on himself and dropped down dead
While I lay hidden underneath underneath the bed

But why am I in prison cell 'cause I followed his career
The man who killed my mother and my father dear
So now I hang around in bars my next victim to find
Just like the man who robbed my father blind

And as I perform my scam I even use his name
The man on whom my parents’ death is blamed
So round and round the pattern goes, life it is a game
Round and round it goes but it always stays the same

Maybe in a way I am gaining my revenge
Conning other people their death to avenge
