Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It's a mystery to me
The game commences
For the usual fee
Plus expenses
Confidential information
It's in a diary
This is my investigation
It's not a public inquiry
[Verse 2]
I go checking out the reports
Digging up the dirt
You get to meet all sorts
In this line of work
Treachery and treason
There's always an excuse for it
And when I find the reason
I still can't get used to it
[Verse 3]
And what have you got
At the end of the day?
What have you got
To take away?
A bottle of whiskey
And a new set of lies
Blinds on the windows
And a pain behind the eyes
[Verse 4]
Scarred for life
No compensation
Private investigations
