[Verse 1]
We were playing loud, lost in sound,

In our basement, underground.

When the sounds of a crash screamed through the night
And Danny and me saw an unspeakable sight

[Pre-Chorus]

Outside, the night had turned to utter disarray

A car was upside down, but why i could not say.

Adrenaline high, our eyes in a glaze,

We approached the wreck, caught in a daze.
And the Upside Down Man Spoke to Us, and he said:

[Chorus]:

"Because I'm really quite alright,

And the damage seems quite slight,

No harm no foul,.. no need for shocks,
PLEASE," he grinned,

“DON'T CALL THE COPS!”


[Verse 2]:

The driveway next door, a scene so bizarre,

A car on a car, like a fallen star.

"You okay?" we shouted, leaning in,

The driver just whispered with a grin.

[Pre-Chorus]:

"don't call the cops," he weakly said
And we looked at each other, as his body bled

The night air heavy, filled with shock,

Time stood still, tick-tock, tick-tock.

[Chorus]:
Because your car is overturned
And you seem relatively unconcerned
And your body’s really badly burned
And by the way, Because you’re bleeding through your socks…

We must call the cops

WE MUST CALL THE COPS!

[Bridge]

In the glow of streetlights, his car was flattened
This was not the night either of us had imagined

Questions unanswered, what to do next
Caught in a moment, so complex

[Breakdown]

Guitars wail like sirens in the night
Drums pounding, emulating our fright
Bass throbbing, steady and deep
Echoing heartbeats, too loud to keep

[Chorus]

Because your car is overturned
And you seem relatively unconcerned
And your body’s really badly burned
And by the way, Because you’re bleeding through your socks…

We must call the cops

[Outro]

The night reclaimed its silent throne
As we stood there, feeling so alone
In my memory etched those bloody socks
And the only night we ever called the cops
