dynamite by moonlight, part 1






you wouldn’t beat up a woman, would you
where’s the bottle?
she was strictly dynamite

things are pretty rough right now
so don’t hold anything against me
a warm haze of smoke enveloped the room

we had to build a special coffin
he’d been planning it for a long time
he lounged there with apparent calm

yes, things are pretty rough right now
where’s the bottle?
she asked with sober and passionless precision

you have already mentioned that things are rough
with sober and passionless precision
his liquor bills ate up a third of his salary

i can’t stand to think about you, either
yes, you heard me right
his liquor bills ate up a third of his salary

she looked him over with sober and passionless precision
she had had plans for him for a long time
a warm haze of smoke enveloped the room

i’m not the same guy you married
i can’t stand to think about you, either
and you are not the same dame

where are the clothes you were wearing last night
a warm haze of smoke enveloped the detective’s face
because she was strictly dynamite
