The Big Heat
The room was darkIt looked like someone had to get out fastA 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 heatThere's someone followin' youIt's the big heatStep aside we're comin' throughWell we followed him from Tucson, ended up in Baton RougeWe trailed him here with information byA woman he knew in Barstow that would like to see him deadThat was four weeks ago...well maybe fiveCHORUSA block away he wondered if he'd left behind a clueThe front page of a paper dated 1992He remembered when he used to be the chairman of the boardBut that was when the world was young and long before the warCHORUS Aus Songtexte Mania
