Nice girls, not one with a defect 

Cellophane shrink wrap, 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" 

Watching the detectives 

When they shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot 

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 that says, "We never close" 

You snatch a tune, you 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 scrathing at the door, 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 

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, 

Watching the detectives
