Maria Novarro lyrics

Maria called the police department
On a Sunday afternoon
`My husband`s gonna kill me.
Please send somebody soon.`
`Where is he, ma`am, is he at your door?
Has he got you now? Can you tell me more?`

In the city of angels there`s no mercy
And there`s no tomorrow for Maria Novarro
No tomorrow for Maria Novarro

`Please,` she said, `his brother called,
He`s on his way with a gun.`
`Sorry ma`am, not good enough,
Why`d you dial 911?`
She knew he was mean, he`d hit her before
She hung up the phone and she locked the door

In the city of angels there`s no mercy
And there`s no tomorrow for Maria Novarro
No tomorrow for Maria Novarro

James Brown said it was a man`s world
And women don`t matter
A little slap, they`ll claim they`re battered
They`re hysterical, emotional
And love will make them fall
Tomorrow she`ll forget that it happened at all

`Domestic quarrels are routine
There`s no need to waste a cop
Especially in that neighborhood
Those people never stop`
But her husband showed up just like she said
No one would listen, now Maria lays dead

In the city of angels there`s no mercy
And there`s no tomorrow for Maria Novarro
No tomorrow for Maria Novarro
