elvis costello - 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 is watching the detectives
“ooh, it’s so cute”
she’s watching the detectives
when they shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot
they beat him up until the teardrops start
but he can’t be wounded ’cause he’s got no heart
long shot of that jumping sign
invisible shivers running down my spine
cut to baby taking off her clothes
closeup of the sign that says “we never close”
you sn-tch a chill and you match a cigarette
she pulls your 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 is watching the detectives
“oh, he’s so cute”
she is watching the detectives
oh, and they shoot, 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
now baby’s 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 to 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
just like watching the detectives
don’t get cute
just like watching the detectives
i get so angry when the teardrops start
but he can’t be wounded ’cause he’s got no heart
watching the detectives
it’s just like watching the detectives
watching the detectives
watching the detectives
watching the detectives
watching the detectives
watching the detectives
watching the detectives
