Alkaline Trio - Private Eye lyrics


ad
I dragged this lake
Looking for corpses
Dusted for prints
Pried up the floorboards
Pieces of planes
And black box recorders
Don't lie [2x]
And I've been preoccupied
With these sick, sixth senses
That sense DNA
On barbed-wire fences
Maybe someday I'll find me a suspect
That has no alibi

New Year's eve was as boring as heaven
I watched flies fuck on channel 11
There was no one to kiss
There was nothing to drink
Except some old rotten milk
Someone left in the sink
And there's no ring
There's no ring on the phone anymore
There's no reason to call
I passed out on the floor
Smoked myself stupid
And drank my insides raisin dry

But at the right place
At the right time
I'll be dead wrong
And you'll be just fine
And I won't have to quit
Doing fucked up shit
For anyone but me
And at the right place
At the right time
It will have been worth it
To stand in line
And you won't have to stop
Saying, I love cops
For anyone but me
Your private eye

I dragged this lake
Looking for corpses
Dusted for prints
Pried up the floorboards
Pieces of planes
And black box recorders
Don't lie [2x]
And I've been preoccupied
With these sick, sixth senses
That sense DNA
On barbed-wire fences
Maybe someday I'll find me a suspect
That has no alibi

At the right place
At the right time
I'll be dead wrong
And you'll be just fine
I won't have to quit
Doing fucked up shit
For anyone but me
At the right place
At the right time
It will have been worth it
To stand in line
And you won't have to stop
Saying, I love cops
For anyone but me
Your private eye [2x]

And at the right place
At the right time
I'll be dead wrong
And you'll be just fine
You won't have to quit
Doing fucked up shit
For anyone but me
And at the right place
At the right time
It will have been worth it
To stand in line
You won't have to stop
Saying, I love cops
For anyone but me
Your private eye
