six in the morning, police at my door
dirty feet squeak across the bathroom floor
all night long we were hiding from our neighbors
we feel much safer living as strangers
and out the back window, there ain't no escape
didn't even get a chance to set myself straight
c'mon and shake
shake, baby, shake
you're never going to stop
it ain't ever going to stop at all
sign in east Hastings saying 'no' to me
they fight against keeping my blood clean
small town to Lansdowne saying 'no' to me
darling, I'm in this cage for my disease
and I'm in here for a dozen years
I got two knees in my back and a gun in my face
they're dragging you by the hair as they search apart our place
and they pull you from my side with the haze from my eyes
I'm shivering through the sweats, baby, on this concrete floor all night
