What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
When the rats are running
2
and the boys are gunning
3
for heads on a tin plate ---
4
you can hear the footfall
5
softly in the back yard.
6
And the black jack is called
7
face up on the last card.
8
You'd better call your witness
9
in your dirty business.
10
Trop tard sera le cri.
11
Better run while you can ---
12
better set the tall sail.
13
Better make deep cover
14
before the boys have you nailed.
15
There's just one chance to get away ---
16
I'll catch up with you another day.
17
I'll close my eyes and count to ten
18
and come right after you again.
19
Grab your credit cards ---
20
cash in on your resources.
21
Take your passport from the drawer,
22
don't stop to change the horses.
23
Get out of the heat.
24
Now can you feel the pressure?
25
Have you got the measure
26
of being a wanted man?
27
Cold drink in your hand ---
28
hot sweat on your brow.
29
And there's no understanding
30
going to help you now.
31
Grab your credit cards ---
32
cash in on your resources.
33
Take your passport from the drawer,
34
don't stop to change the horses.
35
Notify all parties
36
of an earlier vacation.
37
No use trying to board the train
38
after it's left the station.
39
Get out of the heat.
