A Tangled Tango in Tin Pan Alley

Lyrics

[Verse] Shawn and Steven, two tough swells, In a city where jazz and trouble dwells, Tommy D had a secret to keep, But secrets in alleys don't sleep. [Verse 2] Cigars lit, and tempers aroused, A melody in shadows aroused, Tommy whispered words so loud, In the nighttime shroud, any slips aren't allowed. [Chorus] Oh, but jazz and fists, they mingle and chime, Like notes caught in a chaotic rhyme, A jazzy hit, harmony of crime, Their music hit a dissonant climb. [Verse 3] Tommy D tried to run, but they swayed, Like dancers in a fierce ballet, Blood on cobblestones, a red display, A tragic song where angels weigh. [Bridge] The night sang blue, the trumpets cried, Tommy’s dreams and limbs now tied, In a solo of sorrow, he confides, Love and war in shadows collide. [Verse 4] Shawn and Steven felt no glee, Just a brutal jazz in minor key, Tommy's fate, a silent decree, In alleyways where dark lives spree.
