Cherry Beach Express Lyrics

I got a bone to pick with you

Not so friendly boys in blue

When you come out of the station and into the street

Everybody beats a hasty retreat



Well, it was late one Friday, I'm a little bit wrecked

You're on your way to serve and protect

You buzz out of the cruiser like bees from a hive

And ask me if I want to ?go for a drive'

(Go for a drive?)



That's why I'm riding on the Cherry Beach Express

My ribs are broken and my face is in a mess

And my name on my statement signed under duress



52 division, handcuffed to a chair

I'm trying to line up, to fall down the stairs

I tell you I am innocent, I try to explain

But just making sure you don't do it again

(Do what again?)



That's why you're riding on the Cherry Beach Express

Your ribs are broken and your face is in a mess

And we strongly suggest you confess, I confess



I confess, I am mystified by the way you're occupied

I confess, I am horrified, why are you so terrified?

Does the pain get any less if I confess?



And my name on my statement signed at duress



52 division, handcuffed to a chair

I'm trying to line up, to fall down the stairs

I tell you I am innocent, I try to explain

But just making sure you don't do it again

(Do what again?)



That's why I'm riding on the Cherry Beach Express

My ribs are broken and my face is in a mess

That's why I'm riding on the Cherry Beach Express

And I never dreamed it would be like this



I never dreamed it would be like this

I never dreamed it would be like this

I never dreamed it would be like this
