A cover of Deerhoof’s “Almost Everyone, Almost Always” (from Deerhoof vs. Evil) with new lyrics written by the members of Xiu Xiu.
[Verse: Jamie Stewart]
Playtime is over!
You have a ticket and a court date
Will you attend to make sure
That what you want me to do is
In fact what my attorney can secure?
Love in the red and flashing blue light
Civil servant nightstick in the night
Do you know how your power feels:
Your sick six-shooter pressed upon my heart?
[Verse: Zac Pennington]
Oh, Keystone fantasy, sweet P.D
And hands where I can see, all over me
And stay strapped, hands behind your back
Tongue-lashed in the riot van
[Verse: Angela Seo]
I wonder if you're lonesome tonight
You know, someone sent that other girl to jail
And еach must play a part
Fate had me playing in love, you as my sweethеart
Act one was when we met: I loved you at first offense
You read my rights so cleverly, and never missed a cue
Then came act two:
You seemed to change, and you acted so strange
And I'll never know why, Officer
You lied when you said you loved me
And I had no cause to doubt you
But I'd rather go on hearing my rights
Than go on living without you
[Verse: Sam Mickens]
Mrs. Officer, please be mine
Bent over a black and white hood, you'll be mine
Oh, the aviators are above your eyes
Make sure the cuffs tight-fasten on our town ride
