Demolition Man Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Tied to the tracks and the train's just coming
Strapped to the wing with the engine running
You say that this wasn't in your plan
Don't mess around with the demolition man
[Verse 2]
Tied to a chair and the bomb is ticking
This situation was not of your picking
You say that this wasn't in your plan
Don't mess around with the demolition man
[Chorus]
I'm a walking nightmare, an arsenal of doom
I can kill conversation as I walk into the room
I'm a three line whip I'm the sort of thing they ban
I'm a walking disaster, I'm a demolition man
[Bridge]
You come to me like a moth to the flame
It's love you need, but I don't play that game
Because you could be my greatest fan
But I'm nobody's friend, I'm a demolition man
[Chorus]
I'm a walking nightmare, an arsenal of doom
I kill conversation as I walk into the room
I'm a three line whip I'm the sort of thing they ban
I'm a walking disaster, I'm a demolition man

What did The Police say about "Demolition Man"?
“A ‘three-line whip’ is a parliamentary expression indicating matters of utmost seriousness. When I wrote this song, I quite fancied myself as a national emergency. I, too, at times have occasionally indulged in violent fantasies for unspecified slights to my ego, my masculine pride, my patriotism.”...
