lyrics

there's a copper on the corner and I think he's waiting for me
I'm in no kind of mood to sit around and see
there's a copper on the corner and I think he's waiting for me
I think I'll take the long way round

I'm peeking through the curtain still not not certain what he's doing there
but there's a window out back onto the roof and into the night air
I can't think of anything that I've done that he might know
well, nothing from the last day or so
I think I'll take the long way round

Lately I feel like I spend my days
looking over my shoulder
I thought by now I'd have changed my ways
I thought by now it would be over

I keep my eyes on everything at once
I try to keep my mind on more than that
and all my so called friends looking out for themselves
every one of them smells a little bit like a rat

my old lady, she's looking pretty shady
I bet she's been squealing about my business dealings
there's no one left to trust now, I'm waiting for the bust now
I bet she's the one, i bet she's the one, i bet she's the one

Lately I feel like I spend my days
looking over my shoulder
I thought by now I'd have changed my ways
I thought by now it would be over
(one way or another it'd be over)

there's a copper on the corner and I think he's waiting for me
I'm in no kind of mood to sit around and see
there's a copper on the corner and I think he's waiting for me
I think I'll take the long way round

Lately I feel like I spend my days
looking over my shoulder
I thought by now I'd have changed my ways
I thought by now it would be over
