FFS, Sparks, Franz Ferdinand - Police Encounters lyrics

From the West Coast, gonna take a plane
Hit the East Coast, gonna take an A train
Hit the East Coast, going all the way
Why don't you come to Harlem?

Oh, this place we'd love to see
But, I remained in Harlem
Had to pay my parking fees
Felt just like PT Barnum
Caught a couple Pinter plays
I should have stayed in Harlem
Then I heard a policeman say
"I think we should disarm him
I think we should strong-arm him"
So out of place in Harlem

Then I see you standing there
With your dyed-black hair and no underwear

Bom-bom diddy-diddy bom-bom diddy-diddy
Bom-bom diddy police encounters

Caught a couple Albee plays
I should have stayed in Harlem
Then I heard a policeman say
"Do your best, do not alarm him"

I've got eyes for the policeman's wife
In her dyed-black hair and a Bowie knife
I've got eyes for the policeman's wife
The policeman's wife, the policeman's wife
The policeman's wife, the policeman's wife

Bom-bom diddy-diddy bom-bom diddy-diddy
Bom-bom diddy police encounters

Diddy-diddy (Bom-bom) diddy-diddy (Bom-bom)
Diddy-diddy police encounters
Diddy-diddy (Bom-bom) diddy-diddy
Police encounters

Unions went on strike today
But, I remained in Harlem

I've got eyes for the policeman's wife
In her dyed-black hair and a Bowie knife
As I see her standing there alone
In her dyed-black hair and her Android phone

Bom-bom diddy-diddy bom-bom diddy-diddy
Bom-bom diddy police encounters

Bom-bom
