Patrolling Days - The Hives

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

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!

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 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!
