Police on my back

 

Well I'm running, police on my back
I've been hiding, police on my back
They were shooting, police on my back
And the victim, well he won't come back

I've been running Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday
Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday

Running down the railway track
Could you help me, police on my back
They will catch me if I dare drop back
Come and give me all the speed I have

I've been running Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday
Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday

What have I done?

I'm still running down the railway track
Could you help me, police on my back
They will catch me if I dare drop back
Come and give me all the speed I have

 

I've been running Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday
Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday

Running down the railway track
Yes I'm running, police on my back
Yes I'm running, police on my back
Yes I'm running, police on my back

I've been running Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday
Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday

Running, police on my back
Yes I'm running, police on my back
Yes I'm running, police on my back
Yes I'm running, police on my back
What have I done? Tell me
Please, somebody
