Stan Ridgway - The Big Heat lyrics
Your rating:
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" "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 following you It's the big heat Step aside we're coming 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 "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 following you It's the big heat Step aside we're coming through It's the big heat There's someone following you It's the big heat Step aside we're coming through A block away he wondered if he'd left behind a clue The front page of the 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 "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 following you It's the big heat Step aside we're coming through It's the big heat There's someone following you It's the big heat Step aside we're coming through
