Watching the Detectives Lyrics
Nice girls not one with a defect
Cellophane shrink-wrapped so correct
Red dogs under illegal legs
She looks so good that he gets down and begs.
She's watching the detectives oh he's so cute She's watching the detectives
Oh when they shoot, shoot, shoot
They beat him up until the tear drops start
But he can't be wounded cause he's got no heart.
Long shot of that jumping sign
Visible shivers running down my spine
Cut to baby taking off her clothes
Close up of the sign that says we never close
You snatch a tune you match a cigarette
She pulls the eyes out with a face like a magnet
I don't know how much more of this I can take
She's filing her nails while they're dragging the lake
She's watching the detectives oh he's so cute
She's watching the detectives when they shoot
She's watching the detectives oh he's so cute
She's watching the detectives oh as they
Shoot, shoot, shoot
They beat him up until the teardrops start
But he can't be wounded cause he's got no heart.
You think you're alone until you realize you're in it
Our fear is here to stay love is here for a visit
They call it instant justice
When it's past the legal limit
Someone's scratching at the window I wonder Who is it
The detectives come and check if you belong
To the parents
Who are ready to hear the worst about their Daughter's disappearance
Though it nearly took a miracle to get you to stay
It only took my little fingers to blow you away
She's. . .
She's watching, oh....
She's watching, oh....
She's watching the detectives oh when they shoot
She's watching the detectives oh he's so cute
She's watching the detectives oh as they
Shoot, shoot, shoot
Cellophane shrink-wrapped so correct
Red dogs under illegal legs
She looks so good that he gets down and begs.
Oh when they shoot, shoot, shoot
But he can't be wounded cause he's got no heart.
Visible shivers running down my spine
Cut to baby taking off her clothes
Close up of the sign that says we never close
You snatch a tune you match a cigarette
She pulls the eyes out with a face like a magnet
I don't know how much more of this I can take
She's filing her nails while they're dragging the lake
She's watching the detectives when they shoot
She's watching the detectives oh he's so cute
She's watching the detectives oh as they
Shoot, shoot, shoot
But he can't be wounded cause he's got no heart.
Our fear is here to stay love is here for a visit
They call it instant justice
When it's past the legal limit
Someone's scratching at the window I wonder Who is it
The detectives come and check if you belong
To the parents
Who are ready to hear the worst about their Daughter's disappearance
Though it nearly took a miracle to get you to stay
It only took my little fingers to blow you away
She's watching, oh....
She's watching, oh....
She's watching the detectives oh when they shoot
She's watching the detectives oh he's so cute
She's watching the detectives oh as they
Shoot, shoot, shoot

Great cover of Elvis Costello's song.
