Last Time I Saw Cole

Last time I saw Cole

He was working a car wash

Stole money and burned the whole thing down for the mafia, got payed real good

Next time I saw Cole

He was working for the circus

He used to get drunk and beat up some midgets, that was Cole

He said, "You'd never believe the things I've seen and done," that was Cole

He said, "You'd never believe the things I've seen and done," that was Cole

Last time I saw Cole

His picture was everywhere

In movies, magazines, posed with supermodels, presidents and kings and queens, that was Cole

Last time I saw Cole

He was in the Pope's entourage traveling through town

He kissed his hand and everything, I couldn't believe it, that was Cole

He told me on the phone, "You wouldn't believe the things I've seen and done," that was Cole

He said, "Harley, you wouldn't believe the things I've seen and done," that was Cole

Everybody from the neighborhood, they couldn't believe it, about Cole and everything

His mother still lived in that old shack on Jones St., that was Cole

He said, "You'd never believe the things I've seen and done," that was Cole

Last time I saw Cole

He was in town, he looked scared and haggard, drunk or something

He said, "Come to my hotel room, please,"

I met him there, opened the door

He was in the bathroom, his body riddled with bullets

I heard somebody coming up the stairs, so I ran

I didn't hear anything on the news, or in the newspapers, I called his office

His secretary told me he had to go back to Panama for business, that was Cole

To this day, I've never seen Cole again

I know his fate, but I shall not say a word about this to anyone, for I fear for my own life

What he saw and what he did, I will not know

But I know, that was Cole
