Deadly Gentlemen - Police lyrics

(G. Liszt, based on traditional song Policeman) Police come by banging on my door this morning Police come banging on my door this morning They know me by chemical They know my Drano They know my method Don’t know my name though Police, banging on my door this morning I laid down flat on my back in the bed this morning I laid down flat on my back in the bed this morning A big old bucket of lye Bucket of water Make a living a buck at a time Buck and a dime Buck and a quarter Police come banging on my door this morning Sun come up in a devilish blue this morning Sun done come up in a devilish blue this morning A deal went down with the devil it’s true Double down Double the devil his due Police come banging on my door this morning Big old jug, bottom on top this morning

Big old jug, bottom on the top this morning Up and down town, bumping in the bleak Shake it to bake it Dump it in the creek Broken down town house Rubble in a pile this morning Broken down town house Rubble in a pile this morning I burned down the town house Rubble in a pile If I get found out trouble and a trial Police come but I didn’t want to go this morning Drink my liquor with a pancake cold Can a man make silver? Can a man make gold? You don’t need to be mad to need a method Good to be the maker but bad to be the meth head Police come by banging on my door this morning Police come around banging on my door this morning That cop’s so crooked he’ll take by the fistful Take a look at a forty-four pistol I didn’t want to go
