Graham Parker - The Raid lyrics

pre> Slow intro A d a e Where were you when the raid came? where were you when the raid came? A d a e d a Out of the window or on the floor. yeah, on the night of the raid A d I was just rolling up some real good black A e Knock on the door and the window cracked A d The ds just come to bust the fun A e Everybody scatter and run I was jossing with the baby in the bathroom Hanging out the party with the coke spoon Somebody yelled hey my head's on fire Just can't take it no higher Hey, dealers from the north and dealers from the south Joints in the noses and joints in the mouth But the friction in the kitchen only wanted out On the night of the raid Somebody yelled help put that thing on me That's one man i wouldn't want to be If you said now i'm going to make it sing On the night of the raid Well the boys hit the wall like bowling balls Questioned them all like they had no balls Snow hit their noses like an avalanche On the night on the raid Chorus (as inro except..) Where were you when the raid came? Where were you when the raid came? Out of the window or on the floor A Yeah, on the night of the raid Chorus repeat and fade /pre>
