On Patrol

The cops are out / they’re on patrol

They’re lookin’ for / some Rock ‘n’ Roll

Their sirens scream / thru’ neon streets

The boys are out / and they’re on their beat

There’s villains here / and villains there

But you villains / You just Beware!

The cops are out / to get their man

And they’ll get you / anyway they can

Chorus

We got your name / your DNA

You’re goin’ down / you’re goin’ away

A twenty stretch / with no parole

Hey we’re the cops / and we Rock ‘n’ Roll

You’re in the frame / we know your game

We’re lookin’ for / someone to blame

Smash down your door /now hit the floor

There’s been a murder/ in the liquor store

It wasn’t me / I wasn’t there

Hey we’re the cops / and we don’t care

Kiss your mummy / and kiss your wife

Your number’s up / and this time it’s life

Chorus

We got your name / your DNA

You’re goin’ down / you’re goin’ away

A twenty stretch / with no parole

Hey we’re the cops / and we Rock ‘n’ Roll

THE LAST SWIM

The whispering sea calls out to me

Come shelter in my sanctuary,

Tonight I'll swim beneath dark skies

When I grow tired death is my prize,

I feel the lights behind me fade

But I won't stop my midnight raid,

I'll reach my goal and free my soul

When my body’s dead and it's gone cold,

Chorus

I’m coming baby I’m coming

The tide will bring me home

I’ve just got one more swim babe

And we can be alone…

My arms are heavy, and they pull me down

I'm out too far and I can't turn 'round,

I see your face I can smell your hair

Be patient girl I'm almost there,

Tonight the moon will see us rise

As we enter black paradise,

We'll swim into the peaceful night

Beneath dark skies, our moon shines bright

Chorus

I’m coming baby I’m coming

The tide will bring me home

I’ve just got one more swim babe

And we can be alone…
