Bad Law

My baby surrendered to fate

And I couldn't even say how I felt later on that evening

Stating my name to the officer's aide was in vain

Cause I knew they were out to get me

Place four of five fingers flat on a sticky plastic bat

Scan my blue bloodshot eyes for the history of my trials

When crimes are passionate

can love be separate?

En route to my cell I retraced every step

and found a way to redact and retell my story

No evidence and no witness to summon or finesse

I confess, it all sounds unlikely

A sweaty, paranoid palm pressed against a leathered wall

The law in all its flaws, me in an oversized overall

When crimes are passionate

can love be separate?

Baby it's a bad, bad law

It's a bad, bad law, Geronimo

Baby it's a bad, bad law

It's a bad, bad law, Geronimo

I straddled out on the stand

My defense scrawled on my hand

Killed time and time again but then I lost again

When crimes are passionate

can love be separate?

Baby it's a bad, bad law

It's a bad, bad law, Geronimo

Baby it's a bad, bad law

It's a bad, bad law, Geronimo

Baby it's a bad, bad law

It's a bad, bad law, Geronimo

Baby it's a bad, bad law

It's a bad, bad law, Geronimo

Baby it's a bad, bad law

It's a bad, bad law, Geronimo
