TOMAHAWK – Laredo

From the self-titled album (Ipecac, 2001)

Been shanghaied down in Laredo The sunshine sticks to the dusty floor I’m listenin’ for the pay phone A flask rolls in through a hole in the screen door

The cat’s in the bag and the bag’s in the river (X4) Guess you found out that you can’t hold your liquor Keep your eyes shut, it’ll go down quicker The cat’s in the bag and the bag’s in the river, now

Stolen from a shoebox Those sweet snapshots Blackmail on the rocks White knuckles on a squirt gun

The jailbirds sing at the crack of dawn We got records, they’re locked in my head I gotta a feelin’ this deal has gone bad The cat’s in the bag and the bag’s in the river (X4)

Well, put it in the car, got revenge in my liver Just pass the sign, outside the city limit The cat’s in the bag and the bag’s in the river, now Stolen from a shoebox

Those sweet snapshots Blackmail on the rocks Laredo, Laredo The cat’s in the bag and the bag’s in the river (X4)

Well, put it in the car, got revenge in my liver Just pass the sign, outside the city limit The cat’s in the bag and the bag’s in the river, now Stolen from a shoebox

Those sweet snapshots Blackmail on the rocks
