Lyrics Look Out! - Peter Case

Case-Franklin

The chain lock's been kicked in from the hall
There's a stain on the carpet and a splat on the wall
The latch has been jimmied half dozen times
Catch a whiff in the lobby of Red Devil Lye

Look out, they're tryin' to find you
Look out, they're right behind you
Look out honey, I wish you would
'Cause one of these days they'll try to fix you good

At 3 a.m. there's a knock on the door
They're looking for Joe, Joe don't live here no more
The walls are so thin, hear the scratch and a cough
At half past 5 the alarm goes off

Look out, they're tryin' to find you
Look out, they're right behind you
Look out honey, I wish you would
'Cause one of these days they'll try to fix you good

On the other side of town, another style of crime
Shiny out front, all kinds of dirty inside
Lawyers and bandits in their suits and their ties
In a high rise pyramid, smilin' wide

Look out, they're tryin' to find you
Look out, they're right behind you
Look out honey, I wish you would
'Cause one of these days they'll try to fix you good
