Patrolling Days Lyrics - Lex Hives - Hives

Waited far too long 

For this day to dawn 

Marked position with an X and kept floating on. 

Now I stretch and yawn 

All imposters gone 

Once again it's time to reap and sow. 

I'm a rising tide 

Rollercoaster ride 

We're ch-ch-chuggin right into the fun. 

I won't be denied 

So you open wide 

Cause I'm only looking out for you. 

My patrolling days are over 

And I ain't shot nobody since 

I fought the big cheese out of office 

And showed the hep kids how to dance 

And now we're gonna take a ride on the wiggle and sway 

I got my finger on the trigger and it's time to play 

And with every little step I blow your mind away 

Forever H-P-A! 

What now! It's going down! 

From way up top to the down low. 

Take a chromosome 

Make it monotone 

And I'll tell you what I'm gonna do. 

Be a rising tide 

Rollercoaster ride 

We're ch-ch-chuggin right into the fun. 

Now you open wide 

I won't be denied 

Cause I'm only looking out for you. 

My patrolling days are over 

And I ain't shot nobody since 

I fought the big cheese out of office 

And showed the hep kids how to dance 

And now we're gonna take a ride on the wiggle and sway 

I got my finger on the trigger and it's time to play 

And with every little step I blow your mind away 

Forever H-P-A! 

Cause see I rolled in through the back door when it was my turn for the throne. 

I never wanted to stand on your predestal man cause I was born to build my own. 

When they said do or die, I said no way no how. They said I wouldn't last for long. 

But I'm still standing in the hurricane's eye and it's dancing to my song 

Again I rolled in round the back door, no I ain't got no common sense 

So you can bitch and whine. But you best stand aside cause I'm doing it again 

Well no I won't unwind, I won't be dumped behind, I won't be coolly led astray. 

So on the dotted line I slit my thumb and sign yours truly, H-P-A! 

My patrolling days are over 

And I ain't shot nobody since 

I fought the big cheese out of office 

And showed the hep kids how to dance 

And now we're gonna take a ride on the wiggle and sway 

I got my finger on the trigger and it's time to play 

And with every little step I blow your mind away 

Forever H-P-A!
