Lyrics
I'm armed and dangerous
I prowl the streets at night
I howl when I get the scent
And turn on my flashing light
I sit in the shadows
Waiting for a fight
If you see a grin in your rear-view mirror
It's a hungry black and white
Coz I'm a police car
Police car
I'm a police car
Police Car
Hey kid, you need to score
And there ain't no help in sight
Why not hit the licqour store
The one that stays awake all night
There ain't no one around to see,
Just the night shift cleaning the street
And with the breeze
Hold it, freeze
The garbage truck is the heat
I got a shortwave, memory
The facts just can't be beat
I keep two friends along for company
And a shotgun under my seat
I got speed, I got power
I got a V8 heart
Don't try to run, forget the gun
I'll cut you down before you start
Wait a minute sucker, let's you and me go for a ride
