Police And The Private Lyrics

Police And The Private lyrics

Get straight and wait here while I try to find the exit sign

When will you stop asking strangers, no one wants what we want

Keep one eye on the door, keep one eye on the bag

Never expect to be sure



You're working for the police and the private, the pirates and the pilots

Fingerprinted waiting for the train

The doctor, the writer, the hairdresser, 

Felt up and fingerprinted waiting for the train



Lord lord mother you're all losing love

Lord listen lover you're all missing mama

Lord lord mother you're all losing love

Lord listen lover you're all missing something I don't got



There's a place that ends here I know

When they close the gates I'll cry

I'm so tired of never sleeping

The whole world wants what we're on



Didn't make this up I learned, I learned it from a friend

My friend is coming clean, she told me

Keep one eye on the door, keep one eye on the bed

Never expect to be sure who you're working for



You're working for the police and the private, the pirates and the pilots

Fingerprinted waiting for the train

The doctor, the writer, the garbage collector 

Fingerprinted waiting for the train



Lord lord mother you're all losing love

Lord listen lover you're all missing mama

Lord lord mother you're all losing love

Lord listen lover you're all missing love

Got to get out

Got to get to you, the orphanage is closing in an hour
