it's in a time of war. she is talking to a cop who arrests her brother as a political prisoner. when she says she wants to make love to cop, she is being sarcastic, alluring the cop into her trust, but she really wants ultra-violence.
she wanders who the cop is and claims he is like an alien in her home/neighborhood.

That's a really good interpretation. I never thought about it that way. The song sounds really kind of psychopathic now, like she's taking revenge on this brutal riot-control cop who took her brother away.

"Get real hot, blow your top/Hiding in the alleyway," She seduces him, kidnaps him.
"They are writing and looking and they're knocking at your door," he's gone missing, people are writing stories on him, searching for him. She's holding him hostage in his own house, and they've come to arrest her.
"There is a freedom in violence that I don't understand
And like I've never felt before."
hmmm.
