I Wanna Make An Arrest Lyrics & Chords By Martha Wainwright

I don’t mind being left behind
I no longer care where the sound is coming from
I can’t hear the tears in your eyes
I am always, always in disguise

I wanna make an arrest
And stop time and this test
And lie down in the road
And you’re still at home
And you’re still at home

Pavement is changing under my feet
I no longer walk with chin high or skip to the beat
I need to lie down
It’s terminal, see
I’m feelin’ the pain
I’ve got the disease

Oh I wanna make an arrest
And stop time and this test
And lie down in the road
And you’re still at home
And you’re still at home

Take off your shoes
And stay awhile
I’ve been here waitin’ to see your smile
Summer’s comin’ and the nights are long
I’ve been here listenin’, cryin’ to your song

Oh I wanna make an arrest
And stop time and this test
And lie down in the road
And you’re still at home
And you’re still at home

Running against the clock
Color blind all this time
I went for a ride
And I left your side
Now I’m in the lost and found
And you’re not around
And there’s no one I can see who can help me

I wanna make an arrest
And stop time and this test
And lie down in the road
And you’re still at home

I wanna make an arrest
And stop time and this test
And lie down in the road
And you’re still at home
And you’re still at home…
