Repenti

Informant

Some spaghetti and tomato sauce
In the northern suburb of Dijon
I chose the diplomatic way
That saved me from jail
 
It's been twenty years of hiding
And I thought I wouldn't live so long
The FBI does its job
Of witness protection
 
Informant
I'm a traitor
 
I could have broken some stones
In some Texas penitentiary
Instead I'm getting drunk on beer
In a much less classy PMU1
 
Every night people fill up my glass
They laugh, they talk trash
When I tell them about the glass towers
My life in Little Italy
 
Informant
I'm a traitor
 
From mafioso to the very end
I became the local drunkard
While the men of my uncle
Are looking for Two-Fists Tony
 
In the first months of my hiding
I thought my life would be the same
I recreated what I missed
From my American Sicily
 
I helped out some acquaintances
With their neighborhood conflicts
Two or three bodies soaked in gasoline
A few domestic accidents
 
Informant
I'm a traitor
 
From mafioso to the very end
I became the local drunkard
While the men of my uncle
Are looking for Two-Fists Tony
 
My little neighbors, a brother and a sister
Showed me their school reports
I would meet with their teachers
And collect a few teeth
 
But nowadays I am too old
I'm taking care of my hydrangeas
It's weird how much better they grow now
What could I have buried here ?
 
Informant
I'm a traitor
 
In the bushes, something is moving
I see the shadow of a sniper
On my chest a red light
I was expecting you, I'm not afraid
 
Lay me down on my bed
On my heart an hydrangea flower
I will see the Stromboli again
I will forget the mafia
 
Informant
I'm a traitor
 
Informant
I'm a traitor
