The D.A. is dressed to the nines In the mirror he practices all his lines To his closing argument twelve hearts beat in favor I'm guessing that he read the morning paper The headline reads "the man hangs, but the jury doesn't"
And everyone's looking for relief United States versus disbelief Mothers cast tears on both sides of the aisle You're thrown, face the war The verdict falls like bachelors or bad luck girls Only breathing with the aid of denial.
Case open, case shut, But you could pay to close it like a casket Baby boy can't lift this headache up... Isn't it tragic? (Whoaaa-ooo)
He glances at his peers sitting, seven to twelve sacked On one to six the gallery is hushed Boys in three pieces dream of grandstanding and bravado The city sleeps in a cell not withstanding what we all know Hang on a rope or baited breath Whichever you prefer
And everyone's looking for relief A bidding war for an old friend's grief The coffin kid, the coffin's charm and the cause Not a word that could make you comprehend Too well dressed for the witness stand The press prays for whichever headlines worse
Case open, case shut, But you could pay to close it like a casket Baby boy can't lift this headache up Isn't it tragic? (Whoaaa-ooo)
Fresh pressed suit and tie I am desperate, sing and die Can talk my way out of anything The former reads the verdict "In the above entitled actions we find the defendant Guilty..."
Case open, case shut, But you could pay to close it like a casket Baby boy can't lift this headache up Isn't it tragic? [x2]
(Whoaaa-ooo) |
