Secret Garden
Well there's a man who leads a life of danger
With everyone he meets he stays a stranger (1)
He's a repo man, oh baby that's a repo man
Well hey big daddy cruising down the line
You don't make your monthly that Mercedes is mine
I'm a repo man, hey buddy I'm a repo man
Well dead beats, tax cheats, you on welfare
Had a little dry spell, repo man don't care
A repo man lives by a code
You don't pay and I own your little piece of the road
Hide it in the city, hide it in the 'burbs
You wake up and it's gone 'fore you can say the words
Repo man, quick baby, it's the repo man
Well grifters, bums, hard cases, and slobs
A real repo man he loves his job
Couldn't tell you how many times I could've got killed or laid
You shouldn't have bought it if you couldn't have paid
Gran Torino way up in the Bronx
Guy with a pistol in his briefs and socks
Shouting repo man, I'll kill you, the repo man
Well a little pink nighty crying by the road
Sorry Miss, a repo man's got his code
I'm a repo man, hey baby I'm a repo man
Well porch light flickering, I'm under the hood
A shot, I'm burning rubber, ah life is good
I'm a repo man, yea baby that's a repo man
Honey I'm a repo man, oh that's a real repo man
Yeah sugar I'm a repo man, good God, baby I'm a repo man
With everyone he meets he stays a stranger (1)
He's a repo man, oh baby that's a repo man
Well hey big daddy cruising down the line
You don't make your monthly that Mercedes is mine
I'm a repo man, hey buddy I'm a repo man
Well dead beats, tax cheats, you on welfare
Had a little dry spell, repo man don't care
A repo man lives by a code
You don't pay and I own your little piece of the road
Hide it in the city, hide it in the 'burbs
You wake up and it's gone 'fore you can say the words
Repo man, quick baby, it's the repo man
Well grifters, bums, hard cases, and slobs
A real repo man he loves his job
Couldn't tell you how many times I could've got killed or laid
You shouldn't have bought it if you couldn't have paid
