Ian Hunter - Fingers Crossed lyrics

I was pressed into service thru no fault of my own I was dragged from the gutter by nefarious rogues I dont like to dwell upon what happened to me from the land of the living to the land of the lost just a pawn in the system oh oh got my fingers crossed yea I seen skulls I seen crossbones, as near as I can see I felt the cold cloak of terror the ????.and ???.... got us thru I ????for property I am bold am I not In a land unforgiving from the land of the lost With my faith in the balance oh oh with my fingers crosses Hang me high hang me high boy Hang me high hang me high boy Hang me high hang me high boy Hang me high hang me high boy yea I danced with the elements on a South China sea I seen gold I seen silver the fruits of our victories Guilty or innocent I ask this because On the steps of a scaffold am I not to be lost So I made my confession oh oh with my fingers crossed Hang me high hang me high boy Hang me high hang me high boy Hang me high hang me high boy Hang me high hang me high boy Far away far away boy far away far away boy far away far away boy far away far away boy So I make my confession with my fingers crossed
