Police knock my door, lick up my pal

Rough me up and I can't do a thing

Pick up my line when my telephone ring

Take me to the station black up my hands

Trail me down cause I'm hanging with the Snowman

What I'm gonna do? I'm backed and I'm trapped

Slap me in the face and took all of my gap

They have no clues and they wanna get warmer

But Shan won't turn informer
