Watching The Detectives

Duran Duran


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, oh he’s so cute
she is watching the detectives
oh when they shoot
They beat him up until the teardrops start
but he can’t be wounded ‘coz he’s got no heart
Long shot of that jumping sign
a 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 much 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 filling her 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 when they shoot, shoot, shoot
They beat him up until the teardrops start,
but he can’t be wounded ‘coz he’s got no heart.
Now you think you’re alone until you realise 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’s... she’s watching...oh...
she’s watching...oh...
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 when they shoot, shoot, shoot
