Song #13 – Moonlight Entrada

There are many great songs about committing crimes, from Sonny Curtis’s classic “I Fought The Law” to Jane’s Addiction’s “Been Caught Stealing” to Coolio’s “Gangsta’s Paradise”. I thought I’d give one a go and also make it sound over-the-top romantic. A meet-cute in the worst possible way.

Moonlight Entrada

So nice to see you 
Under the moonlight
Stop and say hello

Do you happen 
To have on your person 
Your wallet or jewelry 
By now I think you know 

That I’ve got the 
Methods, the tools, and the inclination 
To butter crumpet blow your mind

And you’ll be free
Don’t wait to see

...

How did we get into this situation 
In this lovely part of town?

You see I’ve got a thing
Like a fatal condition 
The universe is jerking me ‘round

So I’m here raising some funds
In an uncommon manner
So hand it over carefully 

And we’ll be free
So joyfully
