Cold Case Part Two

The female Black Widow Spider, they all do the same When they copulate with their mate, the next thing you know he is dead And so goes the cycle, kind of like the game you play The Statues of Limitations, it has no time frame But little lady, God has a price on your head You will pay, come Judgment Day Old Joe, was a proud Mexican man when he was alive They said that he could fix anything, Helluva mechanic After work, would always have a few beers with his friends But you made it to where he could not survive God, the way that he died was traumatic They all remember, he had a lot of friends They maybe be old and can't remember five minutes ago, yesterday is clear as a bell Of all the good times they had with Old Joe, the tales they told me They way that he died, left a bad taste in their mouth that will not go away They get to talking, do they have a story to tell Sooner or later you will have to plead guilty I figure that old cocaine, will run out on you someday Old Joe is in the grave, cause you put him there But his spirit will come to visit you, when you are trying to sleep You see sweetheart, God has a way of not leaving you alone If I were a gambling man I bet you don't have a prayer At night, I reckon you will be counting sheep The thoughts of Old Joe's ghost will be chilling you to the bone "Just thought I would drop by and leave a few recollections in your head" "Not to worry you any, just something for you to think about" "I know you keep telling everyone that you are not guilty" "But we have to remember, that is not what all of his friends have said" "When the jury come back, I don't think that there will be any doubt" "Sooner or later, we all have to face reality"
