    Gnosis

    Look what you've done,
    you gigolo.
    You know that I loved you, hon,
    and I didn't want to know
    that your cool,
    seductive serenade
    was a tool
    of your trade,
    you gigolo.

    Of all the riches you've surveyed,
    and all that you can lift,
    I'm just another dollar that you made
    in your long, long grift

    Look what you've done,
    you gigolo.
    Another hustle has been run,
    but now you ought to know
    that this fool
    can no longer be swayed
    by the tools
    of your trade,
    you gigolo.

    I'm just another john you gypped,
    another sucker stiffed,
    a walk-on role in the script
    to your long, long grift.
    The love that had me in your grip
    was just a long, long grift.
