Tits-up in Belize

TITS-UP IN BELIZE

(Remembering Warren Zevon)

A friend once told me he had once gone 'tits up in Belize'. Such a great phrase and I eventually wrote this one based on it in the style of the late, great Warren Zevon.

I was down on my luck

Lookin’ to make a buck

So I hooked up with Marco’s operation

We moved a lot of stuff

But when things got rough

I soon found out I had myself a situation

Chorus

Oh yes my balls were in a squeeze

When I went tits-up in Belize

Now I’m on the run, I’m on the run

Packin’ a gun, cos I’m on the run

Someone stole my name

Put me in the frame

Made a claim I was working for the Narco

Now there’s price on my head

Might as well be dead

‘Cos I’m wanted by the Feds

And I’m on the run from Marco

Chorus

Now I’ve found a little place

Where no one knows my face

But I’m playin’ it safe looking back over my shoulder

I’m lying very low

(I’m incognito!)

And with a little bit of luck I just might get a little bit older

Chorus2X (‘And it ain’t no fun’ - extra line last time).
