Lyrics Duran Duran

Duran Duran

Watching the Detectives

Nice girls not the one with the defects

Cellophane shrink-wrapped so correct

Red dogs under illegal legs

She looks so good that he gets down and begs

[Chorus]

She is watching the detectives

Oh he's so cute

She is watching the detectives

When they shoot shoot shoot shoot

They beat him up until the teardrops start

But he can't be wounded 'cause 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 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 filing her finger nails while they're Dragging the lake

[Chorus]

They beat him up until the teardrops start

But he can't be wounded cause 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's,

She's watching,

Oh,

She's watching,

Oh

[Chorus]
