The Net Lyrics
The Net - John Ashley
Written by： David Bacharach
They're closing in
Closing in
Closing in
And they're ready
To drop the net
It all began in Yuma
Seven days ago
Seems more like a lifetime
Since she smiled and said
Hello
I caught a glimpse of heaven
Shining in her eyes
But what looked like an angel
Was a devil in disguise
They're closing in
Closing in
Closing in
And they're ready
To drop the net
She said she wanted diamonds
Furs and all the rest
The man who got her
Had to treat her better than the best
Well I said I'd bring her diamonds
Promised her the moon
But she was in a hurry
And I had to do it soon
The night was dark and gloomy
Clock was striking four
I opened up the skylight
And I climbed down to the store
I filled a sack with diamonds
Made my getaway
Left fingerprints behind and now
They've come to make me pay
They're closing in
Closing in
Closing in
And they're ready
To drop the net
