Civic Hall

Civic Hall - The 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 they said What's goin on here then sonny Hello hello

What's goin' on here then sonny We want to know

But they weren't convinced no matter how I tried

They pinned me up against the wall

And my homemade jam in my plastic bag was broken by the Civic Hall

By the Civic Hall

I closed my eyes to see the Phoenix rise spread-eagle up

Against the wall

And I walked tight-knit from my sinking ship

Trying hard 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

Went to pieces for the final time

When they said What's goin on here then Sonny Hello hello

What's goin' on here then Sonny We want to know

But they weren't convinced no matter how I tried

They pinned me up against the wall

And my homemade jam in my plastic bag lies broken
