 JETHRO TULL - Heat Lyrics

When the rats are running
and the boys are gunning
for heads on a tin plate ---
you can hear the footfall
softly in the back yard.
And the black jack is called
face up on the last card.

p4p738h1612222mpp7l
You'd better call your witness
in your dirty business.
Trop tard sera le cri.
Better run while you can ---
better set the tall sail.
Better make deep cover
before the boys have you nailed.

p4p738h1612222mpp7l
There's just one chance to get away ---
I'll catch up with you another day.
I'll close my eyes and count to ten
and come right after you again.

p4p738h1612222mpp7l
Grab your credit cards ---
cash in on your resources.
Take your passport from the drawer,
don't stop to change the horses.

p4p738h1612222mpp7l
Get out of the heat.

p4p738h1612222mpp7l
Now can you feel the pressure?
Have you got the measure
of being a wanted man?
Cold drink in your hand ---
hot sweat on your brow.
And there's no understanding
going to help you now.

p4p738h1612222mpp7l
Grab your credit cards ---
cash in on your resources.
Take your passport from the drawer,
don't stop to change the horses.
Notify all parties
of an earlier vacation.
No use trying to board the train
after it's left the station.

p4p738h1612222mpp7l
Get out of the heat.
