Elvis Costello WATCHING THE DETECTIVES 歌詞

歌：Elvis Costello

Nice girls, not one with
a defect Cellophane
shrinkwrap, so correct
Rad 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
Visible shivers running
down my spine
Cut the baby taking
off her clothes
Closeup
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 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
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
Watching the detectives
Watching the detectives
Watching the detectives
Watching the detectives
