crime in the desert

crime and punishment down in tucson

back to normal in the sun

playing blackjack in the drive-in

shooting snake-eyes in the mud

and when the moonlight came out

we were gone

long gone

they found a body on the race-track

no identifying signs

in his pocket was a notebook

with a number inside

and guadalajara's just a few miles down the line

she adored the broken-hearted

and those who showed her a bad time

they didn't care for her body

they took advantage of her mind

so they took her ideas and they left her behind
