From the moment that we met it’s been obvious to me that you’re adept
At finding answers to hard questions
I’m far too squeamish, how can someone be this calm?
When confronted with a crime scene that looks like an abattoir?
I do not know
Searching for evidence
Hearing footsteps slowly creeping, this is getting much too tense
Come on gumshoe, be the one to help me out

I’ve had trouble sleeping
Since that villain got away
I keep dreaming that he’ll kill us
And we’ll share a shallow grave
There is no one I can trust
And the cops are so corrupt
All protected by the politicians
In these wicked cults
It’s so unjust

Searching for evidence, hearing footsteps slowly creeping
This is getting much too tense, come on gumshoe, be the one to help me out

It’s you (just you) I’d take the case to, no second thought
It’s you (just you) I’d take the case to, to get them caught
Frankly you were born to lead your own detective agency
It’s you (just you) I’d take the case to
I’d take the case to you

Slaughtering the dissidents, now the coroner is waiting
This is getting much too tense, come on gumshoe be the one to help me out
