Peter Case - Million Dollars Bail lyrics

Case She dialed 911 but the cops didn't come on time They found her on the marble with a bullet through her eye He was weaving back and forth, foaming at the lips So they took him in for questioning and inked his finger tips There's two kinds of justice everybody knows One for folks up on the hill, the other's down below Everyone is talking 'bout the night he spent in jail Today he's free out walking on a million dollars bail They said she was a single girl that lived a double life He'd met her at the hatcheck stand and took her home that night No one knows what happened 'coz no one else was there No trial date was ever set, no one seems to care 'Coz there's two kinds of justice everybody knows One for folks up on the hill, the other's down below Everyone is talking 'bout the night he spent in jail Today he's free out walking on a million dollars bail On a million dollars bail They tell us all the world is small and life is selling cheap Anything can happen when you're walking in your sleep The court took charge and eyed the facts, bail was set at one cool mil Calls were made and debts were paid, the lawyers worked with sk** Eternity is longer than one night inside a box And if you're heading for the jail house, now's the time to pick the locks But there's a sentence pa**ed on every soul, someday we all must die When the question's not who pulls the switch, it's how you lived and why There's two kinds of justice everybody knows One for folks up on the hill, the other's down below Everyone is talking 'bout the night he spent in jail Today he's free out walking on a million dollars bail On a million dollars bail
