The Big Heat — текст песни (Ridgway Stan)

The room was dark
It looked like someone had to get out fast
A window open by the fire escape
How long have you been following this guy?
The bell boy asked
Not long enough, `cause we got here too late.
CHORUS
And everybody wants another piece of pie today, he said
You gotta watch the ones who always keep their hands clean.
It`s the big heat
There`s someone followin` you
It`s the big heat
Step aside we`re comin` through
Well we followed him from Tucson, ended up in Baton Rouge
We trailed him here with information by
A woman he knew in Barstow that would like to see him dead
That was four weeks ago...well maybe five
CHORUS
A block away he wondered if he`d left behind a clue
The front page of a paper dated 1992
He remembered when he used to be the chairman of the board
But that was when the world was young and long before the war
CHORUS
