Align:    
  • 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.
  • 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.
