Jazz Police Lyrics

                             Leonard Cohen
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

             Can you tell me why the bells are ringing?
             nothing's happened in a million years
             I've been sitting here since Wednesday morning
             Wednesday morning can't believe my ears

             Jazz Police are looking through my folders
             Jazz Police are talking to my niece
             Jazz Police have got their final orders
             Jazzer drop your axe it's Jazz Police!

             Jesus taken serious by many
             Jesus taken joyous by a few
             Jazz Police are paid by J. P. Getty
             Jazzers paid by J. P. Getty II

             Jazz Police I hear you calling
             Jazz Police I feel so blue
             Jazz Police I think I'm falling, I'm falling for you

             Wild as any freedom loving racist
             I applaud the actions of the Chief
             Tell me now, o beautiful and spacious
             Am I in trouble with the Jazz Police?

             Jazz Police are looking through my folders
             Jazz Police are talking to my niece
             Jazz Police have got their final orders
             Jazzer drop your axe it's Jazz Police!

             They will never understand our culture
             They'll never understand the Jazz Police
             Jazz Police are working for my mother
             Blood is thicker margarine than grease

             Let me be somebody I admire
             Let me be that muscle down the street
             Stick another turtle on the fire
             Guys like me are mad for turtle meat
