Sirens & Sheilas

[Verse 1]
Heard her heels from a mile out
Click-clack down the lino hall
Red lippy
Bad mood
Borrowed my ute
Mate
I saw my life flash in the wall

She swings that door like a cyclone
Every word a warning sign
Whole pub staring at their schooners
Thinking "glad that nightmare’s not mine"

[Chorus]
Women and police cars
Both scream their bloody lungs out
Just to let you know they’re comin'
Long before they ever pull up (oi!)
One’s got lights
One’s got side-eye
Both will write you up for somethin'
Women and police cars
Teach you what trouble really sounds like (hey!)

[Verse 2]
Hear that whoop on the highway
Check the mirror
Check your sins
Then my phone lights up: "Where you at?"
Honestly
I don’t know which one wins

One asks
"You been drinkin'
Sir?"
One says
"Who the hell is her?"
Either way
I'm pullin' over
Prayin' someone signs my transfer

[Chorus]
Women and police cars
Both scream their bloody lungs out
Just to let you know they’re comin'
Long before they ever pull up (oi!)
One’s got lights
One’s got side-eye
Both will write you up for somethin'
Women and police cars
Teach you what trouble really sounds like (hey!)

[Bridge]
If it’s quiet
Start worryin'
That’s when they’ve seen the texts
Silence in the lounge room
Mate
That’s louder than the rest

[Chorus]
Women and police cars
Both scream their bloody lungs out
Just to let you know they’re comin'
Long before they ever pull up (oi!)
One’s got lights
One’s got side-eye
Both will write you up for somethin'
Women and police cars
Teach you what trouble really sounds like
Yeah
Women and police cars
Are why I’m walkin' home tonight
