Lyrics

[00:00.00] 作词 : Costello
[01:06.93] Nice girls not one with a defect,
[01:11.45] cellophane shrink-wrapped, so correct.
[01:14.17] Red dogs under illegal legs.
[01:19.34] She looks so good that he gets down and begs.
[01:25.71]
[01:26.12] She is watching the detectives.
[01:28.89] "ooh, he's so cute!"
[01:32.49] She is watching the detectives
[01:35.19] when they shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot.
[01:39.43] They beat him up until the teardrops start,
[01:42.24] but he can't be wounded 'cause he's got no heart.
[01:46.41]
[02:03.94] Long shot of that jumping sign,
[02:06.90] Visible shivers running down my spine.
[02:10.23] Cut the baby taking off her clothes.
[02:12.60] Close-up of the sign that says,"We never close"
[02:15.93] You snatch a tune, you a match a cigarette,
[02:19.21] She pulls the eyes out with a face like a magnet.
[02:22.47] I don't know how much more of this I can take.
[02:26.24] She's filing her nails while they're dragging the lake.
[02:33.12]
[02:34.19] She is watching the detectives.
[02:36.52] "ooh, he's so cute!"
[02:41.19] She is watching the detectives
[02:43.70] when they shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot.
[02:47.95] They beat him up until the teardrops start,
[02:50.82] but he can't be wounded 'cause he's got no heart.
[02:54.83]
[04:03.43] You think you're alone until you realize you're in it.
[04:05.73] Now fear is here to stay. Love is here for a visit.
[04:09.22] They call it instant justice when it's past the legal limit.
[04:12.49] Someone's scratching at the window. I wonder who is it?
[04:15.51] The detectives come to check if you belong to the parents
[04:19.05] who are ready to hear the worst about their daughter's disappearance.
[04:22.36] Though it nearly took a miracle to get you to stay,
[04:25.02] it only took my little fingers to blow you away.
[04:30.96]
[04:33.14] Just like watching the detectives.
[04:35.59] Don't get cute!"
[04:38.05] It's just like watching the detectives.
[04:43.69] I get so angry when the teardrops start,
[04:45.58] but he can't be wounded 'cause he's got no heart.
[04:58.14] Watching the detectives.
[05:02.17] It's just like watching the detectives.
