Annalise, you swore you'd never call the police

Annalise, you swore you'd never call the police

I stole a car and I drove off a cliff

'Cause I can't go on that much longer like this

And I took a spike and I made a harpoon

'Cause I get real anxious near hot air balloons

Ooh, Mr Villain, where is your brain?

You twisted sister, what is your name?

I guess I never thought a guy like me

Could just as quickly make a little money in the city

Making noises with my mouth, slapping shiny strings

Everyone's neglected to respectfully inform me

On the origins of this horrid C.G. song I heard this morning

So I count it out like, one!

And I'll wait a little longer buddy, wait a little longer, buddy

Ohh, one, two!

Wait a little longer, buddy, wait a little longer, buddy

Ohh, one, two, three!

But I stole a car and I drove off a cliff

'Cause I can't go on that much longer like this

And I took a spike and I made a harpoon

'Cause I get real anxious near hot air balloons

Ooh, Mr Villain, where is your brain?

You twisted sister, what is your name?

Annalise, you swore you'd never call the police

Annalise, you swore you'd never call the police

"Look alive," the lady cries

And swats a little fly that bites for the blood inside

But I can't explain my little chemical brain

It's either up or it's down, it's either busted or sane

See, I've been looking for a little place to call my own

A little space for the bass and the drums and the gong

But I'm running out of money and I really gotta know

If I can come on through your city and just play a couple shows

'Cause under the crust is an ugly little rust

That I found after years of scraping fingers through the dust

And I can see another layer, but I know that I can trust

That y'all will find another way to come and dance with us

Don't back down, give them all the double feature

'Cause any boy that looks your way is always ready for take but jealousy blackens them up into little creatures

And I've been scolded, people say folded, and totally lost religion

Since I seen the dead rabbit, limpin' cat, squished mouse, and the black and bloody broke-down pigeon

Annalise, you swore you'd never call the police

Swore you'd never call the police

(Annalise, you swore you'd never call the police)

What you ever gonna say that's gonna make the savage hate dissipate and pass like gasses?

Seems the situation calls for me to sing, maybe strum a couple simple tasty passes

When I was young, my number one was in the woods with the birds and the trees, just writing stories

Now, every day I hit the city with a mind that nothing in my life can ever be boring

Annalise, you swore you'd never call the police

Swore you'd never call the police

(Annalise, you swore you'd never call the police)

(Annalise, you swore you'd never call the police)

(Annalise, you swore you'd never call the police)

(Annalise, you swore you'd never call the police)

(Annalise, you swore you'd never call the police)

(Annalise, you swore you'd never call the police)

(Annalise, you swore you'd never call the poli...)
