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
