You're Crashing, But You're No Wave

The DA 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 everyones looking for releif

Untied States versus disbelief

Mothers cast tears on both side of the aisle

Clear your throat and face the world

The verdict fall like bachelors for bad luck girls

Only breathing with the aid of denial

Case open,case shut

But you can pay to close it like a casket

Baby boy can't lift his headache head

Isn't it tragic?

He glances at his peers sitting seven to twelve stacked

on one to six the gallery is hushed

Boys in three pieces dream of grandstanding at Bravado

The city sleeps in a cell not withstanding what we all know

Hang on a rope or bated breath,whichever you prefer

And everyones looking for relief

A bidding war from an old flames grief

The cause,the kid,the course,the charm and the curse

Not a word that can make you comprehend

Too well dressed for the witness stand

The press prays for whichever headline's worse

Case open,case shut

But you can pay to close it like a casket

Baby boy can't lift his headache head

Isn't it tragic?

Fresh pressed suit and tie

Unimpressed birds sing and die

Can talk my way out of anything

The formen reads the verdict

"In the above entitled action we find the defendant"

Guilty guilty guilty guilty

(2x)

Case open case shut

But you can pay to close it like a casket

Baby boy can't lift his headache head

Isn't it tragic?
