40 detectives this week
40 detectives strong
Takin' a stroll down Love Street
Strollin' is that so wrong
Can I get my co-defendant

Hump de bump doop bodu
Bump de hump doop bop
Hump de bump doop bodu

Bump de hump doop bodu
Hump de bump doop bodu
Bump de hump doop bodu

Bump bump

Listen to me what i said
Try to get it through your head
A little bit of Circumstance
A chance to make out

Livin' in a citadel
It's hard enough to be yourself
Waiting for the bell to toll
And I am wide awake now

Workin' the beat as we speak
Working the belle du monde
Believe in the havoc we wreak
Believin', is that so wrong
Can I get my co-dependent

Must have been a hundred miles
And of a hundred styles
It's not about the smile you wear
But the way we make out

When I was an all-aloner
Nothin' but a two beach comber
Anybody seen the sky?
I'm wide awake now

    General Comment:You're all wrong. It's about buying dope, and getting pulled over. Remember, they're rock stars, and ALL rock stars do drugs. If they say otherwise, they are lying or posers.

    General Comment:I agree with kkbjerga
    but i dunno if it's a prostitute, maybe just someone he doesn't care about. cos prostitutes often don't allow kissing because it's a sign of love.
    i do not know this from experience. I know this from the radio.
