Lyrics:
five cruisers on the block tonight
i wonder what’s the fuss about this time
do they know that we’ve been drinking
do you think they’d even mind
five cruisers on the block tonight
dog got out the house tonight
we took off in two directions running wild
and we never ever found her
but i think we still just might
dog got out the house tonight
pissed on the no trespassing sign
i’m outside anyway and there’s no line
if all that’s mine is yours
well then my friend what’s yours is mine
pissed on the no trespassing sign
five cruisers on the block tonight
they’ve just been sitting there for quite some time
do they know what’s in the freezer
is that what they’re here to find
no you idiot you’ll be just fine
no you idiot you’ll be alright
I love this.
The way that the vocal precedes the first instrumental by a hair is god damned awesome. This could easily be the anthem for some noir crime drama, like True Detective, or buried in some SOTL scene like Q Lazarus’ epic.
