I have been awakened by an urgent call as a ring But I really don't come to until I hear the speaker It's a job for me to do A name, a dress, a place where I can reach her I'm to call her back as soon as I know the job is through And I know that there'll never be a heaven for me As I light up my lucky and get in my car Drive to the place I've been told that you are And I, I shut you down, copper And it was my will As I see the light leap from your eyes I know that this is one time that you won't bring me in And I, I shut you down, copper And it was my will And as you fall beneath my headlights I straighten out my hat and disappear I know I have just killed a man And I, I shut you down, copper And it was my will And as you fall beneath my headlights I straighten out my hat and disappear I know I have just killed a man And I, I shut you down, copper And it was my will And as you see the light leap from your eyes I know that this is one time that you won't bring me in And I, I shut you down, copper And it was my will And as you fall beneath my headlights I straighten out my hat and disappear They will never catch me Cause I love the job I do It's just a shiver of my spine and a squeeze of the trigger
