Track 12 of Patrick Porter's ‘A Swan At Smiley’s’ LP
lyrics
POLICE
(Lyrics by Patrick Porter C. 2007)
Sitting in the basement with your sirens in my brain
I've got all the time in the world to contemplate my ball and chain
The police!
The police!
The police!
If I make the slightest move they'll slap the cuffs on me
There's alarm bells notched on either coast that scream: 'Ain't nothin' free!'
The police!
The police!
The police!
I'm sitting in the basement with your sirens in my brain
I'm sitting in the basement with your sirens in my brain
I'm sitting in the basement with your sirens in my brain
