Blues For Harry Bosch

(Album: The Junction - 2018)

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 glare
(Heading 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, getting 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, carrying red heat
Harry's a target, walking the night beat)
Devil got his money's worth that night
Harry fell for the lady in red

(Shalimar, Shalimar)

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

Shalimar was the venom (venom), getting 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
