Jailbird

Trying to find comfort from an uneasy sleep
Finally, through bloodshot eyes I peep
Strange surroundings alarm me fully awake
Something is wrong, there must be a mistake

A thin cot mattress and the bar covered door
One lone toilet bolted to the concrete floor
knowing where I was but not quite sure why
I paced and pondered, and then started to cry

What could have happened to land my butt here
I searched for some clues to make it all clear
The clothes that I wore wreaked of cologne
My breast was itching, the reason unknown

I searched for the cause in my lacy black bra
Pulled out some hundreds and stood there in awe
How did this get there?, I am normally broke!
This can't be for real, this must be a joke!

I dug in my pockets to pull out the contents
Pieces of a puzzle I was trying to make sense
A pair of chopsticks from my birthday party
"Oh yes" I remembered the food was real hearty

The saki I drank must have done quite a number
I don't remember much before my long slumber
A matchbook from a club named "Buff-alo Joe's"
With a caption that read "nightly shows"

Trying to be quiet and not cause commotion
I grabbed up my purse in swift moving notion
Frantically searching for one more clue to find
To reveal why I'm here and help remind

A jingle was heard and out came some keys
They weren't familiar "Just whose are these?"
A black little emblem with a cute little horse
Suddenly I remembered the night and its course

I must have got drunk and then gotten caught
Revealing myself without second thought
The monies from dancing a sultry routine
Must have got out of hand when I got obscene

In the heat of the moment I stole a ferrari
Explaining to the cops "I'm really sorry"
They cuffed and stuffed me and then it gets blurry
Now my fate waits on the judge and the jury
