Baby, lately I been wondering
maybe I've lost my touch,
you been a chillin'...
and I'm thinking way too much -
Cops drinking coffee
checking my plates,
we're both pushing' hard
against the fates -
A couple drinks down
that bank looks nice and easy;
been a good long while
since you was naughty and sleazy -
A dollar in the juke box...
songs about Amsterdam; but ya know,
too many shots to the gut
takes the fight outta any man -
Billy the Kid
strolls in the bar,
askin', who owns
that cool ol' muscle car -
We hit that bank hard
and got away clean, and fast;
some things people choose to love
just don't last -
Baby, I'll send you a postcard
from down ol' Mexico way; but,
alas, you never really listened much
to what I was trying to say, anyway -
'This thing of darkness I acknowledge mine.' - Prospero, from Shakespeare's 'The Tempest'
This is nice expressive of robbery, a sweet robbery that takes away all yet leave us back as the richest man on earth. Beautiful.
Well, Smoky, the rhythms and diction feel familiar, but the subject's different for you. -Glen
