Sting & Police - The Mighty lyrics

He’s only six years oldthat old killer died.

Put him down in a great big holeI fill it up all the time.

See the buildings rise up to the skyparking meterstraffic cops.

You best watch your record sonthey’ll come and lock you up.

Chorus:

I’ve been working all night.

I go long into the day.

Ain’t got much money now.

Got the time aheadgot the time ahead to pay

Smoke and lightningdressed to kill.

Don’t talk to strangersthat’s all you know.

Forty years of sudden deaththe daylight’s still not over yet.

You should live to see evening falldoctors working overtime.

Too much of a good thingnot enoughstepping stonesbuilding blocks.

(chorus)

I’ve been working all night.

I go long into the day.

Ain’t got much money now.

Got the time ahead

I’ve been working all night.

I go long into the day.

Ain’t got much money now.

Got the time aheadgot the time aheadgot the time ahead to pay
