Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The docks
The clocks
A whisper woke him up
The smell of water would resume
[Verse 2]
The cave
The waves
Of light, the unreal night
The flat curving of a room
Get funny
[PreChorus]
Prove it
Just the facts
Confidential
[Chorus]
Ah, this case
This case
This case that I
I've been workin' on so long
So long
[Verse 3]
First you creep
Then you leap
Up 'bout a hundred feet
You're in so deep that you could write a book
[Verse 4]
Chirp, chirp
The birds
They're giving you the words
A world is just a feeling you undertook
[PreChorus]
Prove it
Just the facts
Confidential
[Chorus]
This case
This case
This case that I
I've been workin' on so long
So long
[Verse 5]
Now, the rose
How it slows
You in such colorless clothes
Fantastic! You lose your sense of human
[Verse 6]
Project
Protect
It's warm and it's calm and it's perfect
It's too "too-too" to put a finger on
[PreChorus]
Prove it
Just the facts
Confidential
[Chorus]
Ah, this case
This case
This case that I
I've been workin' on so long
So long
[Outro]
This case is closed
