We Are The Police

(album: Annette (Unlimited Edition) - 2021)

[Police:]
We are the police and we have got some routine questions
You're not suspected but we have to ask some questions
It won't take long—how 'bout some coffee with your questions?
It won't take long we don't have very many questions
Not many questions
Can you describe the night and how your wife went missing?

[Henry:]
There was a storm and I looked up and she was missing

[Police:]
And did you try at all to dive in and to save her?

[Henry:]
The sea was rough and with Annette—how could I save her?
The storm was very strong there was no way to save her
And anyway, I had Annette, I had to save her
I had Annette

[Police:]
We heard the rumors that you're somewhat of a raver
Were there some problems between you that made you waver?

[Henry:]
That is an insult, I loved Ann, was always faithful!

[Police:]
How about that "comic" piece in which you said you killed her?
Was that a prank, or something more, an aspiration?

[Henry:]
Everybody knows my acts are full of provocation!

[Police:]
Well that 'bout wraps it up, we sure are grateful Henry
It now seems clear to us there is no guilty party
It was an act of God, that is our firm conclusion
It was an act of God, and pardon the intrusion
