Civic Hall
Vapors

I heard someone calling me

From a car across the road

The lights were out I never heard the sound

Of the police car radio

So I went running down the lane

With my plastic bag

Not stopping once to look behind

But the long arm of the law

Put its foot to the floor

And they met me on the other side

And the said

What's going on here sonny

Hello hello

What's going on here sunbeam

We want to know

But they weren't convinced

No matter how hard I tried

And they pinned me up against the wall

And my home-made jam in my plastic bag

Lies broken by the civic hall

I closed my eyes to see the phoenix rise

Spread eagled up against the wall

And I walked tight lipped

From my sinking ship

Trying to keep the furnace cool

So I thought easy come easy go

Just play along

Until I got inside the car

But a stone age hand

Left my trust in man

Blown to pieces for the final time
