The Manhattan Transfer - Blues For Harry Bosch lyrics
[The Manhattan Transfer - Blues For Harry Bosch lyrics]
We got a case boys, she's a dish
A real kisser and deadly
Carrying heat - both kinds
Fahrenheit and Smith & Wesson
From a confidential hideaway lies a
City dressed in glare
(Headin' for trouble, dangerous cargo
Miami city, outta Key Largo)
Came a wicked skirt dressed to kill
Of a deadly kiss she murders
(Flooded with danger, dead on arrival
Kissing'em double, she's homicidal)
Shouting my words her
Poison, legal intoxication
Gettin' away with murder
(Dead men are heavy of a broken heart)
There's an empty bed on every street
As she mates so does she conquer
(Kissin'em deadly, carryin' red heat
Harry's a target, walkin' the night beat)
Devil got his money's worth that night
Harry fell for the lady in red
(Shalimar, Shalimar)
In the jungle of the city lights
There's a siren hot for crime
(Fatal attraction, doin' the big sleep
Murder for hire, Harry's in too deep)
Shalimar was the venom
(venom) , gettin' away with murder
(Dead men are heavy of a broken heart)
Good ole Harry lost a bet than night
He was black and blue as ice
(Love'em and leave'em, that was her MO
Trouble with Harry, he couldn't say no)
Devil got his money's worth that night
Harry fell for the lady in red
Another dawn crept over the city like it
Was crawling out of the grave
Harry was a good gumshoe it was the
One thing the big lug could do
But where dames were concerned
He just couldn't win
Not even with a pocket full of aces
A real kisser and deadly
Carrying heat - both kinds
Fahrenheit and Smith & Wesson
From a confidential hideaway lies a
City dressed in glare
(Headin' for trouble, dangerous cargo
Miami city, outta Key Largo)
Came a wicked skirt dressed to kill
Of a deadly kiss she murders
(Flooded with danger, dead on arrival
Kissing'em double, she's homicidal)
Shouting my words her
Poison, legal intoxication
Gettin' away with murder
(Dead men are heavy of a broken heart)
There's an empty bed on every street
As she mates so does she conquer
(Kissin'em deadly, carryin' red heat
Harry's a target, walkin' the night beat)
Devil got his money's worth that night
Harry fell for the lady in red
(Shalimar, Shalimar)
In the jungle of the city lights
There's a siren hot for crime
(Fatal attraction, doin' the big sleep
Murder for hire, Harry's in too deep)
Shalimar was the venom
(venom) , gettin' away with murder
(Dead men are heavy of a broken heart)
Good ole Harry lost a bet than night
He was black and blue as ice
(Love'em and leave'em, that was her MO
Trouble with Harry, he couldn't say no)
Devil got his money's worth that night
