Plausible Deniability (AM) | EricB

[Intro] Plausible deniability [Verse 1] Cigars burn black in the midnight glow Contracts signed where shadows grow Poison slips through a Cuban vein A king's throne drowned in the mobster's gain Voices whisper on a tapped line Plausible lies in the grand design Bullets wait where the deals unwind Blood on the wire, truth confined [Chorus] Cut the strings, let the puppets fall CIA screens in a mafia call Steel and smoke where the shadows creep A devil's pact in the secrets we keep (Plausible) (Plausible deniability) [Verse 2] Roselli grins with the loaded dice Trafficante sells a soul for a price Castro laughs through the static haze A backfired game in the crimson maze Files burn in the Langley vault Truth twists in the world's default Giancana's ghost on a cold steel throne A king betrayed by the deep state shown [Chorus] Cut the strings, let the puppets fall CIA screens in a mafia call Steel and smoke where the shadows creep A devil's pact in the secrets we keep (Plausible) (Plausible deniability) [Bridge] Wiretaps with the dead man's plea Kennedy shadow in a sea of debris Pills dissolve in a traitor's hand A nation blind to the master's plan Cut the strings, let the puppets fall CIA screens in a mafia call Steel and smoke where the shadows creep A devil's pact in the secrets we keep [Outro] (Plausible) (Plausible deniability) [Instrumental] Blood on the wire The signal dies A truth buried A web of lies
