'TIL THE HEAVENS FALL

Copyright 2011 – Robert E. Shandor

 

Well, I was just-a drivin’ down Highway 69
When I saw up in my mirror his flashin’ lights behind
He made me pull-on over and walk a real straight line (then he)
Insinuated I’d been drinkin’ some wine
No need to get so righteous
Stick that finger in my eye
I may be drivin’ badly
But this ain’t no DUI

 

So go ahead and try to make your case, you can
Breathalyse me ‘til the heavens fall,
Take me to court and you’ll get egg on your face, ‘cause
I’ve got an allergy to alcohol

 

He told me that I’d have to breathe into his device
And I’d better do it right or I would have to do it twice
He said that its measurement would surely suffice (to prove)
I’d been drinkin’ somethin’ that was devil-enticed
Just cease with all this hoo-doo
Scoop the crap out of your ears
I’ve never had a ticket
Drivin’ twenty-five years

 

So go ahead and try to make your case, you can
Breathalyse me ‘til the heavens fall,
Take me to court and you’ll get egg on your face, ‘cause
I’ve got an allergy to alcohol

 

When he looked at me again his face became a rigid mask
I knew I hadn’t failed the test, but wasn’t gonna ask
He reached into his pocket, pulled out a silver flask (then he)
Offered me a swig like it was champagne in a glass
Are you really crazy or is
This some kind of game
If you think I’m gonna fall for this
You’re more than simply lame

 

So go ahead and try to make your case, you can
Breathalyse me ‘til the heavens fall,
Take me to court and you’ll get egg on your face, ‘cause
I’ve got an allergy to alcohol

 

I got back on the highway, headed on my merry way
But I’m sure that he’s still out there in the middle of the fray
Pullin’ people over – they’re his hapless prey – (then he)

Writes a few more tickets, truly makes his day
What is it he’s tryin’
When he nails them to the wall
Is he hopin’ single-handedly
To fund the police ball?

 

So go ahead and try to make your case, you can
Breathalyse me ‘til the heavens fall,
Take me to court and you’ll get egg on your face, ‘cause
I’ve got an allergy to alcohol

 

So go ahead and try to make your case, you can
Breathalyse me ‘til the heavens fall,
Take me to court and you’ll get egg on your face, ‘cause
I’ve got an allergy to alcohol
