Elvis Costello - Watching The Detectives слова песни
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.
CHORUS:
She is watching the detectives.
ooh, he`s so cute!
She is 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 the baby taking off her clothes.
Close-up of the sign that says,We never close
You snatch tune, you a 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.
CHORUS
You think you`re alone until you realize you`re in it.
Now 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 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!
It`s 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.
