White Collar Crime

The Priest sat in the airport bar.
He was taking it on the lamb
A one way ticket to Argentina
And a crumbled telegram

He was facing thirteen charges
And he could no longer hide
Behind his robe and crosses
So he bought himself a ride

Like the telltale heart he listened
To each step as it drew near
Every passing child's eye
Was like a nightmare's mirror.

He grabbed his sweat stained collar
And he threw it on the floor
He left his rosary on the table
He wouldn't need it any more

He slowly started walking
With a box beneath his arm
Past the custom agents
He triggered their alarm

He said he had a bomb
And although it was not true
He got them to relieve him
Of what he put his conscience through.
