Toledo Police Lyrics by Dick Valentine

Coma Watching

2021

You judge me harshly
While you were looking for your smokes
In the ashes of the blaze
The one you started
In between knock-knock jokes
And your jukebox plays
And everything stops
So you watch celebrity wrestling
On your television
Through the lens of double vision
All the while, the long arm of the law is amputated
I was remorseful for 90 days
Went and renounced all my foolish ways
And I can't shake the chill I've had since I got to Ohio
Toledo police, Toledo police
They come bearing gifts for the hungry child
Between your guns and demons
I choose between neither and nor
And wait for your reaction
I know you got your reasons
Still I change the locks on my door
When you come looking for action
And so the long arm of the law
Can be sewn back on
For in this life, I'm just a ghost
Shove the knife in to butter my toast
But I've been on this restrictive diet for awhile
Toledo police, Toledo police
Escorting me for the last 150 miles
Fireworks over the river
The fiberglass still makes me shiver
And makes me all of this money
I was not seen here for seven years
Chased all my shots with workingman's beers
Turn back the clock in hopes I never see tomorrow
Toledo police, Toledo police
They will drive anywhere but the streets of Toledo
Zig-zaggy line
Leaves me behind
In the 419
Salt in the mine
Mystery wine
Talking in rhyme
You'll do just fine
In the 419
Credits
