"Private Eye" lyrics
"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 (Don't lie)
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 (Don't lie)
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
Your private eye
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

American Hi-Fi - "The Art Of Losing" Last call now I'm outta time
And I don't got no valentine
Singled out, now I stand alone
The underdog in a modern world

But nothing seems to feel alright
I don't...
NOFX - "The Man I Killed" When they tightly strap me in, give me lethal injection,
Just a few moments to live, no remorse for what I did,
It was for the betterment of man, I gave the utmost sacrifice,
Before more damage...
Rancid - "Journey To The End Of The East Bay" Reconcile to the relief
consumed in sacred ground for me
there wasn't always a place to go
but there was always an urgent need to belong
all these bands and
all these people

Mest - "Cadillac" It's Friday night
What's going on tonight
I'll see her later on tonight
But now it's time to roll
This somber state is getting old
Well I never do what I am told
So now we're gonna roll
And...
