the hives
patrolling days
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 wont 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 Now you open wide I wont be denied 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! 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 wont be dumped behind, I wont 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!
