Ghost Cop
Liam Lynch and Matt Crocco Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I think this cop's pulling you over.

No, I think he's after that landrover.

No dude, I'm pretty sure he's after your ass,
So, pull us over into the grass.

(weird siren)

That's not a normal siren sound.

I don't think that cop's from this town.

Dude there's something that you should know.

What's that?

I left my license back at the show.

Well, this might sound a little random,
But I kind of think our cops a phantom.

He's gonna put our souls in prison,
Due to the high speeds that I've driven.

You dont need to worry about a ticket,
If he's a ghost and he can stick it.

Oh yeah, ghost cops scare me more than spiders!

Pulling over mortal drivers.

This cop followed us for miles.

Dude this feels just like x-files.





Totally.

Overall Meaning

The song "Ghost Cop" by Liam Lynch and Matt Crocco is a lighthearted and humorous take on the experience of being pursued by a police officer. The lyrics describe the confusion and fear that arise when the cops begin to follow the singers in their car, with one of them suggesting that the officer is after someone else's vehicle and another making a joke that the cop might be after their literal behinds. As the chase goes on, the singers become increasingly skeptical of the cop's normalcy, noting that his siren sounds unusual and speculating that he might not even be from their town.


The singers' anxiety about their encounter with the police turns to outright disbelief when one of them realizes that he had forgotten his driver's license at a show they had attended earlier. This leads the other speaker to suggest that the cop might not be human at all, but rather a "phantom" who wants to put them in "soul prison" for their reckless driving. Despite this fanciful explanation, the singers eventually conclude that they have to pull over and deal with the situation, with one of them humorously noting that "ghost cops scare me more than spiders."
