[00:23.39] Nice girls, not one with a defect

[00:26.64] Cellophane shrink-wrapped, so correct

[00:30.40] Red dogs under illegal x

[00:37.90] She looks so good that he gets down and begs

[00:38.15] She is watching the detectives

[00:47.40] "Ooh, he's so cute"

[00:51.15] She is watching the detectives

[00:54.65] When they shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot

[00:59.90] They beat him up until the teardrops start

[01:02.90] But he can't be wounded 'cause he's got no heart

[01:12.65] Long shot at that jumping sign

[01:16.40] Invisible shivers running down my spine

[01:20.40] Cut to baby taking off her clothes

[01:23.66] Close-up of the sign that says "We never close"

[01:27.14] He snatches at you and you match his cigarette

[01:30.90] She pulls the eyes out with a face like a magnet

[01:34.40] I don't know how much more of this I can take

[01:41.65] She's filing her nails while they're dragging the lake

[01:47.90] She is watching the detectives

[01:51.40] "Ooh, he's so cute"

[01:55.15] She is watching the detectives

[01:58.65] Oh when they shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot

[02:03.15] They beat him up until the teardrops start

[02:06.65] But he can't be wounded 'cause he's got no heart

[02:16.65] You think you're alone until you realize you're in it

[02:19.90] Now fear is here to stay, love is here for a visit

[02:23.40] They call it instant justice when it's past the legal limit

[02:27.14] Someone's scratching at the window, I wonder who is it?

[02:30.65] The detectives come to check if you belong to the parents

[02:34.40] Who are ready to hear the worst about their daughter's disappearance

[02:38.15] Though it nearly took a miracle to get you to stay

[02:41.64] It only took my little fingers to blow you away

[02:47.65] Just like watching the detectives

[02:51.90] Don't get cute

[02:54.89] Just like watching the detectives

[02:55.15] I get so angry when the teardrops start

[02:59.40] But he can't be wounded 'cause he's got no heart

[03:03.15] Watching the detectives

[03:12.64] It's just like watching the detectives

[03:15.90] Watching the detectives

[03:19.90] Watching the detectives

[03:23.40] Watching the detectives

[03:27.15] Watching the detectives

[03:29.90] They're watching the detectives

[03:34.40] Watching the detectives
