Lyrics

In the dark of the city backwoods Something stirs then slips away Law and order in darkest Knights bridge Crime and punishment at play Hey Mr. Policeman won't you come on over Hook me up to the power lines of your love Jump start, tow me away Jump start or tow me away And through the bruised machinery [Incomprehensible] smoking haze of industry 0.49 Another day with ball and chain I do my time, then home again Hey Mrs. Maggie won't you come on over Hook me up to the power lines of your love Jump start or tow me away Jump start or tow me away Oh we should've blamed the officers? Or maybe I should blame the priest? Or should I blame the poor foot soldier Who's left to make the most from least? Hey, Jack Ripper won't you come on over Hook me up to the power lines of your love Hook me up to the power lines of your love Jump start or tow me away, yeah Jump start or tow me away You can blame the newsman Talking at you on the satellite T.V And if you're fighting for your shipyards You might as well just blame the sea Hey Mr. Weatherman come on over Hook me up to the power lines of your love Jump start or tow me away Jump start or tow me away
