lyrics (the best I could find anyway)
It's "Lucy in the Sky" and all kinds of apple pie
She giggles at the screen 'cause it looks so green
There's carpets on the pavement and feathers in her eye
But sooner or later, her new friends will realize
That Julie's been working for the Drug Squad
Julie's been working for the Drug Squad
(She can even look you in the eye)
Well it seemed like a dream, too good to be true
Stash it in the bank while the tablets grow high
In their millions and everybody's high
(hi man)
But there's someone looking down from that mountain side
'Cause Julie's been working for the Drug Squad
'Cause Julie's been working for the Drug Squad
Ten years for you
Nineteen for you
And you can get out in twenty-five
That is if you're still alive
And then there came the night of the greatest ever raid
They arrested every drug that had ever been made
They took eighty-two laws through eighty-two doors
And they didn't halt the pull 'till the cells were all full
'Cause Julie's been working for the Drug Squad
Julie's been working for the Drug Squad
They put him in a cell, they said you wait here
You got the time to count all of your hair
You got fifteen years, that's a mighty long time
You could have been a physicist
But now your name is on the mailbag list
Julie's been working for the Drug Squad
Julie's been working for the Drug Squad
Ten years for you
Nineteen for you
And you can get out in twenty-five
That is if you're still alive, oh alive
