(Elvis Costello)
Nice girls not one with a defect
cellophane shrink-wrapped so correct
red dogs under ilegal legs
she looks so good that he gets down and begs
She is watching the detectives
oh he's so cute
she is watching the detectives
oh when they shoot
They beat him up until the teardrops start
but can't be wounded cos he's got no heart
Long shot of that jumping sign
visible shivers running down my spine
cut the baby taking off her clothes
close up of the sign that says "we never close"
You snatch a tune, you match a cigarrette
she pulls the eyes out with a face like a magnet
I don't know how much more of this I can take
she filing her finger nails while they're dragging the lake
She is watching the detectives
oh he's so cute
she is watching the detectives
oh when they shoot
She is watching the detectives
oh, he's so cute
she is watching the detectives
oh as they shoot shoot shoot
They beat him up until the teardrops start
but can't be wounded cos he's got no heart
Now 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
She is...
She is watching, oh
she is watching, oh
She is watching the detectives
oh whe they shoot
she is watching the detectives
oh he's so cute
she is watching the detectives
oh as they shoot
