nice girlsnot one with the defect
cellophaneshrink-wrapped so correct
red dogs under illegal legs
she looks so good that he gets down and begs
she is watching the detectives
"oooh he s so cute!"
she is watching the detectvies
when they shootshootshootshoot
they beat him up until the teardrops start
but he can t be wounded cos he s got no heart
long shot of that jumping sign
visible shivers running down my spine
cut to baby taking off her clothes
close up of the sign thaat says we never close
you snatch a tuneyou 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
"oooh he s so cute!"
she is watching the detectvies
when they shootshootshootshoot
they beat him up until the teardrops start
but he can t be wounded cos he s got no heart
you think you re alone until you realise you re in it
now fear is here to staylove is here for a visit
they call it instant justicce when you re 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 thier daughter s disappearance
though it took a miracle to get you to stay
it only took my little finger 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 cos he s got no heart
watching the detectives
it s just like watching the detectives
