Patrolling Days Songtext
von The Hives

Oh
Woo-woo!

Waited far too long for this day to dawn
Marked position with an X and kept floating on
Now I stretch and yawn, all impostors gone
Once again, it′s time to reap and sow

I'm a rising tide, rollercoaster ride
We′re ch-ch-chuggin' right into the fun
I won't be denied, so you open wide
′Cause I′m only looking out for you

My patrolling days are over
And I ain't shot nobody since
I fought the big cheese out of office
And showed the hep kids how to dance

And now we′re gonna take a ride on the wiggle and sway
I got my finger on the trigger, and it's time to play
And with every little step I blow your mind away
Forever H-P-A


What now? It′s going down
From way up top to the down low
Take a chromosome, make it monochrome
And I'll tell you what I′m gonna do

Be a rising tide, rollercoaster ride
We're ch-ch-chuggin' right into the fun
Now you open wide, I won′t be denied
′Cause I'm only looking out for you

My patrolling days are over
And I ain′t shot nobody since
I fought the big cheese out of office
And showed the hep kids how to dance

And now we're gonna take a ride on the wiggle and sway
I got my finger on the trigger, and it′s time to play
And with every little step I blow your mind away
Forever H-P-A

Oh
Oh (oh)

My patrolling days are over
And I ain't shot nobody since
I fought the big cheese out of office
And showed the hep kids how to dance


And now we′re gonna take a ride on the wiggle and sway
I got my finger on the trigger, and it's time to play
And with every little step I blow your mind away
Forever H-P-A

My patrolling days are over
And I ain't shot nobody since
I fought the big cheese out of office
And showed the hep kids how to dance

And now we′re gonna take a ride on the wiggle and sway
I got my finger on the trigger, and it′s time to play
And with every little step I blow your mind away
Forever H-P-A

'Cause see I rolled in through the back door
When it was my turn for throne
I never wanted to stand on your pedestal man
′Cause I was born to build my own

When they say do or die, I said no way, no how
They said I wouldn't last for long
But I′m still standing in the hurricane's eye
And it′s dancing to my song

Again I rolled in round the back door
No, I ain't got no common sense
So you can bitch and whine, but you best stand aside
'Cause I′m doing it again

Well, no, I won′t unwind, I won't be dumped behind
I won′t be coolly led astray
So on the dotted line, I slit my thumb and sign
"Yours truly, HPA"

My patrolling days are over
And I ain't shot nobody since
I fought the big cheese out of office
And showed the hep kids how to dance

And now we′re gonna take a ride on the wiggle and sway
I got my finger on the trigger, and it's time to play
And with every little step I blow your mind away
Forever H-P-A
