The room was dark, it looked like someone had to get out fast

A window open by the fire escape

How long have you been following this guy, the bellboy asked

Not long enough, 'cause we got here too late

And everybody wants another piece of the pie today, he said

You gotta watch the ones who always keep their hands clean



Chorus:

It's the big heat, there's someone followin' you

It's the big heat, step aside, we're comin' through



Well, we followed him from Tuscon, ended up in Baton Rouge

We trailed him with information by

A woman he knew in Barstow that would like to see him dead

That was four weeks agowell, maybe five

And everybody wants another piece of the pie today,
