Lyrics Red Hot Chili Peppers – Police Station

Saw you at the police station
And it breaks my heart to say
Your eyes had wandered off
To something distant

I saw you on the back page
Of some free press yesterday
The driftwood in your eyes
Said nothing short of love for pay
I know you from another picture
Of someone with the most conviction
We used to read the funny papers
Fool around and pulled some capers
Not today
I send a message to her
A message that I’m coming
Coming to pursue her

Chorus 1:
Down home country
I rest my face on your bed
I’ve got you ten times over
I’ll chase you down
‘Til you’re dead

I saw you on a TV station

Chorus 2:
Down home country
I rest my face on your bed
I met my soul mate country
And I left it all for your head

I saw you in the church yard
There was no time to exchange
You were getting married
And it felt so very strange
I guess I didn’t see it coming
Now I guess it’s me who’s bumming
Dreaming of the golden years
You and I were mixing tears
Not today
Not for me but someone
I never could get used to
So now I will refuse to

Chorus 2:
Down home country
I rest my face on your bed
I met my soul mate country
And I left it all for your head
I got my best foot forward
And I’ll chase you down
‘Til you’re dead.
