[Verse 1: Grunge female lead, low and tight, big loose drums] Basement on Kessler, nine o'clock Amps on the floor and a broken clock Bass player dozin' on the laundry pile Guitar's out of tune, but it's out in style Mister Hollis upstairs with his slippers on Bangin' on the ceiling with his garden prong Nine fifteen he picks up the phone Every single night, he don't leave us alone [Pre-Chorus: Grunge female lead, low and tight] Nine fifteen and the floorboards shake Here comes Hollis with another complaint to make [Chorus: Grunge female lead, quiet-loud lurch, full force] Go ahead and call it in Tell 'em what you heard and tell 'em where we been We'll be louder when they come again Go ahead and call it in [Verse 2: Grunge female lead, screamed, growling bass] Officer Reyes at the door again Notepad out, with his chewed-up pen Says ma'am, keep it down, there's a complaint on file Then he looks at the kit and he stays a while Night two he's tappin' on his belt Night five he's askin' how the bass part felt Night nine he's mouthin' every word Hummin' the bridge like a nervous bird [Chorus: Grunge female lead, full force] Go ahead and call it in Tell 'em what you heard and tell 'em where we been We'll be louder when they come again Go ahead and call it in [Bridge: Grunge female lead, low, grinding detuned guitars] Night ten our drummer quit and left Took his cymbals, took his stool, and his cheap regret Reyes in the doorway, starin' at the space And I hand him the sticks and I watch his face He said ma'am, I played in a band in school Then I took the badge and I kept it cool [Verse 3: Grunge female lead, screamed, big loose drums] He hit it like he'd been waitin' his whole life Radio on his shoulder and his badge on tight Hollis called it in at nine fifteen Dispatcher laughed and said, I know the scene Now the squad car's parked out by the curb Every rehearsal, and he never says a word Just counts us in with his nightstick high And Hollis on the phone till the day he dies [Chorus: Grunge female lead, full force] Go ahead and call it in Tell 'em what you heard and tell 'em where we been We'll be louder when they come again Go ahead and call it in [Outro: Grunge female lead, screamed, grinding detuned guitars] Call it in, call it in We got a cop on the kit and a noise you can't win Call it in, call it in Hollis, honey, thanks for the drummer again [End]
