[Intro – groovy synth, bouncing bass, 16 bars] [Verse 1] Rolling into town in a beat-up ride Crooked little grin and nothing to hide Palm trees swaying, mansions on the hill Motor City cop with a streetwise skill [Verse 2] Fake badge flashing, he talks his way through Suits at the doorway don't know what to do He bluffs, he jokes, he flips the game around Never plays it straight, but he's never let down [Pre-Chorus] Chasing down the truth, no one's gonna stop him Every lead he follows, there's no way to top him [Chorus] Beverly nights, he's on the run Laughing in the neon, having all the fun Beverly nights, the rhythm in his veins A cop out of place, but he's breaking the chains [Instrumental Break – synth lead, 16 bars] [Verse 3] Gangsters in tuxedos, limousines outside He plays the lost tourist, but he's got nothing to hide A friend on the force and a wink at the right time The bad guy walks into the trap on the line [Verse 4] Up on the hilltop the showdown is near Headlights in the fog, sirens loud and clear He's racing full speed with a heart on fire Nothing's gonna stop him, he'll go even higher [Chorus] Beverly nights, he's on the run Laughing in the neon, having all the fun Beverly nights, the rhythm in his veins A cop out of place, but he's breaking the chains [Synth Solo – 24 bars, building up] [Break – drums and bass only, 8 bars] [Guitar Solo – 24 bars] [Bridge] Lights go down and the city sleeps tight One last smile as he walks into the night Tomorrow's far off, tonight he's the king Detroit's finest cop, doing his own thing [Final Chorus – repeat twice, with backing vocals] Beverly nights, he's on the run Laughing in the neon, having all the fun Beverly nights, the rhythm in his veins A cop out of place, but he's breaking the chains [Final Chorus – repeat twice, with backing vocals] Beverly nights, he's on the run Laughing in the neon, having all the fun Beverly nights, the rhythm in his veins A cop out of place, but he's breaking the chains
