Watching The Detectives

Elvis Costello

    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, 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

    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
