The Manhattan Transfer and Wdr Funkhausorchester - Blues For Harry Bosch

We got a case boys, she's a dish
A real kisser and deadly
Carrying heat, both kinds
Fahrenheit and Smith & Wesson

From a confidential hideaway lies a city dressed in black
Headin' for trouble, dangerous cargo
Miami city, outta Key Largo
Came a wicked skirt dressed to kill, of a deadly kiss she murders
Flooded with danger, dead on arrival
Kissing' 'em double, she's homicidal

Shouting my words her poison, legal intoxication, gettin' away with murder
(Dead men are heavy of a broken heart)
There's an empty bed on every street
As she mates so does she conquer
(Kissin' 'em deadly, carryin' red heat)
(Harry's a target, walkin' the night beat)
Devil got his money's worth that night
Harry fell for the lady in red

In the jungle of the city lights, there's a siren hot for crime
(Fatal attraction, doin' the big sleep)
(Murder for hire, Harry's in too deep)

Shalimar was the venom (venom)
Gettin' away with murder
(Dead men are heavy of a broken heart)
Good ole Harry lost a bet than night, he was black and blue as ice
(Love 'em and leave 'em, that was her M.O)
(Trouble with Harry, he couldn't say no)
Devil got his money's worth that night
Harry fell for the lady in red

Another dawn crept over the city like it was crawling out of the grave
Harry was a good gumshoe, it was the one thing the big lug could do
But where dames were concerned he just couldn't win
Not even with a pocket full of aces

Bang, you're dead
