"Private Eye" lyrics
(originally by Alkaline Trio)
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, sick 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 and 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
I won't have to quit doing fucked up shit
For anyone but me
And at the right place, at the right time
It'll be worth it to stand in line
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, sick senses
That sense DNA on barbed wire fences
Maybe someday, I'll find me a suspect that has no alibi
But 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
But 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
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 stop saying, "I love cops"
For anyone but me, your private eye
Your private eye
Your private eye
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, sick 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 and 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
I won't have to quit doing fucked up shit
For anyone but me
And at the right place, at the right time
It'll be worth it to stand in line
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, sick senses
That sense DNA on barbed wire fences
Maybe someday, I'll find me a suspect that has no alibi
But 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
But 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
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 stop saying, "I love cops"
For anyone but me, your private eye
Your private eye
Your private eye
