Based on Italy 2018
| My gun was out of ammo, was cornered in the ghetto |
| I'd stolen from a gambler, back then I was a klepto |
| I thought she was a statue, not moving in the alley |
| As silent as a tortoise, it looked like rigor mortis |
| She stepped out from the doorway, and told us she was sorry |
| I couldn't complain as she'd caught me in flagrante |
| She took us to her boss who, said that I was a goner |
| He made me really suffer, with two months in the slammer |
| And when you hear my story, it may sound quite familiar |
| She caught me near the dock and she arrested me for murder |
| Despite my protestations, she used me as a pillow |
| Until the backup team came, and took me to the station |
| I'd been arrested quickly, felt I was treated badly |
| Not listened to my alibi, or my side of the story |
| I felt the evidence was just purely based on hearsay |
| Promise that I am not guilty |
| Captured by the narcoleptic |
| Chief investigator’s mean tricks |
| She was in her nightdress and her panties |
| But she still made the arrest |
| She had sleepwalked up so gently |
| I had only stolen twenty |
| bottles of olive oil and about seventeen dollars thirty |
| When finally my chance came, with the investigator |
| I was a little scared, by all that she then told me |
| She found out that I was the murderer's next target |
| I was in fact the victim, she took me in to save me |
| Fessing up the money, and about the bottles |
| I tried to make the case to her my kids were hungry |
| Though seeming sympathetic, she said she must insist |
| That I would serve a little time in prison |
| Captured for my own protection |
| My thoughts start to change direction |
| Took away my freedom with good reason |
| While she caught the perpetrator |
| After she had an espresso |
| She assembled all her colleagues |
| And told them to deploy for what was a major operation |
| At the time I was set free, from my stint in the slammer |
| As I walked out of prison, I crossed paths with the gambler |
| It seems that in addition to bets in the casino |
| He'd murdered seven people, at least as far as the police know |
| Captured by her skilled sleep-judo |
| The whole time she kept her eyes closed |
| Lives saved by the narcoleptic |
| chief investigator's actions |
| We owe to her our lives, we'll remain forever indebted |
| What can I do to repay |
| Without her we'd not be here |
| I could buy her a new duvet |
| Invest in comfy pyjamas |
| Lighten up her caseload, by snitching on my partner, we'll turn a new life over |
| Or buy her a cappuccino |
