In the dark of the city backwoods
Something stirs then slips away
Law and order in darkest Knightsbridge
Crime and punishment at play

Hey, Mr. Policeman won't you come on over?
Hook me up to the power lines of your love
Jump start, or tow me away
Jump start, or tow me away

And through the bruised machinery
The smoking haze of industry
Another day with ball and chain
I do my time, then home again

Hey, Mrs. Maggie won't you come on over?
Hook me up to the power lines of your love
Jump start, or tow me away
Jump start, or tow me away

Well, should I blame the officers?
Or maybe, I should blame the priest?
Or should I blame the poor foot soldier
Who's left to make the most from least?

Hey, Jack Ripper won't you come on over?
Hook me up to the power lines of your love
Hook me up to the power lines of your love
[Instrumental Break]

Jump start, or tow me away
Jump start, or tow me away

[Flute Solo]

You can blame the newsman
Talking at you on the satellite T.V
And if you're fighting for your shipyards
You might as well just blame the sea

Hey, Mr. Weatherman come on over?
Hook me up to the power lines of your love
Jump start, or tow me away
Jump start, or tow me away
