Wanted                             Jim Ryan, 2014

Wanted, you were wanted
Wanted, by the law
Wanted, by the others
Wanted, for what you saw

Just a day, like any other
Just a day, before the thaw
Just a day, like any other
Day you wish, you never saw

You sat down, asked for coffee
Sat down, never read the news
Sat down, stared out the window
Most in the scene, looked tired ‘n’ used

Something fell, something happened
A strange smell, took over the room
Something fell, just like your chances
Shadow fell, across the room

Now you’re wanted, yes you’re wanted
Wanted, by the law
Wanted, by the others
Wanted, for what you saw
Yeah you’re wanted, for what you saw
