Lyrics
[Instrumental intro 0:00-1:24] [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 whisky and a new set of lies Blinds on the windows, and a pain behind the eyes [Instrumental break 2:55-3:35] [Bridge] Scarred for life, no compensation Private investigations [Instrumental outro 3:49-6:46]
