[Bridge]

GI traipsed over the Mexican border
GIn a cheap caravan, man
GLike a snake with five eggs stuck in my stomach
GI needed some relief
GMade it back to frisco in a vanity chest
GTo the painted ladies on house arrest
GSo wax up the waxed fruit it's time for a shine
GIt's the old fruit that makes wine

Gm     G   Gm     G   Gm     G   Gm     GPolice me, police me, police me, police me

GYou got no reputation never took a swing
GSilent when the [?] finds out
GIn the sham arena play a messy game
GNo time for you to pout
GDown in sausalito we had clams for dessert
GYou spilled some chardonnay on your gypsy skirt
GThere's no more time for apricots he's got to make his own shade
Gm     G   Gm     G   Gm     G   Gm     GPolice me, police me, police me, police me
