Ambush on her body, down by the dam
She wasn't afraid of anybody until, down by the dam
Criminal running from the law
Hiding in the high grass
The lady saw death from a mescaline high
High in the high grass
And the police ain't never around
When you need them
But the criminal's ready to pounce
If you get near him
Vigilante fires, the flames are gettin' higher
Down by the dam
Temper's gettin' hot oh there's blood for the pot
Down by the dam
She wasn't afraid of anybody until, down by the dam
Criminal running from the law
Hiding in the high grass
The lady saw death from a mescaline high
High in the high grass
And the police ain't never around
When you need them
But the criminal's ready to pounce
If you get near him
Vigilante fires, the flames are gettin' higher
Down by the dam
Temper's gettin' hot oh there's blood for the pot
Down by the dam
