Private Eye (Alk3)
I dragged this lake looking for corpses
Dusting for prints, pried up the floorboards
Pieces of planes and black box recorders don’t lie
And I’ve been preoccupied with these sick, sick senses
That sense DNA on barbed wire fenses
Maybe some day I’ll find me a suspect that has no alibi.
New Years Eve was as boring as heaven
I watched flies fuck on channel eleven
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’m passed out on the floor.
Smoked myself stupid, and drank my insides raisin dry.
And 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.
