Oh, the police are on the scene Knocking on your door Mr. Queen Trying to keep you from taking your life What are your neighbors to do To come through for you To try to keep you from losing your mind? I hear the sergeant He's howling something Down at your end of the hall I hear the sergeant He's howling, howling About an anonymous call "Have you seen, Mr. Queen?" She was fast on her way The traffic lights dragged on today And here she comes home To find you wasting away I hear the sergeant He's howling something Down at your end of the hall I hear the sergeant He's howling, howling About an anonymous call "Have you seen, Mr. Queen?" Well, you're a stone, you're a diamond And then you fall like dominoes Until you become a face that nobody knows When you put yourself Up on that tightrope Where one side is death And the other is hope, hope, hope, Mr. Queen The papers read, 'Today Mr. Queen found D.O.A' What's his old lady to say? And what are his neighbors to do To try to come through To try to keep her from losing her way I hear the sergeant He's howling something Down at your end of the hall I hear the sergeant He's howling, howling About an anonymous call "Have you seen, Mr. Queen?"
