Private Eye - real
audio

Ian:
She was Five foot four -
frightened and beautiful.
Threw a letter on my desk
and made like a mirage.

She didn't even say au revoir
The letter did though

They're gonna shut the lid
on your private eye
Signed Iris

Nice name
Nasty note

The shadows on the street are following you

And the city heat is so intense
it's swallowing you

Keeping that eye wide open
Chorus:
private eye

Ian:
Keeping that eye - private eye
On you!

You've run down
Searching for a stranger
You know you better watch your step
Someone's always hip when you trip

Keeping that eye wide open
Chorus:
private eye

Ian:
Keeping that eye
-
private eye



Lydia:
When you find what you risk everything for

Then hold it tight
Don't let it out of your sight
Danger is lurking

Ian:
Out in the night

Ian & Lydia:
And it's a fight to keep your mind right
Listen to me
This isn't like on tv

Your visit could end
If you're not careful my friend

Ian:
So be cool and
Keep those eyes in back of your head

Cause when you catch up with what you're chasing
You'll never solve the case if you're dead

Keeping that eye wide open

Chorus:
Private eye!

Lydia:
Keeping that eye wide open!

Chorus:
Private eye!

Ian & Lydia:
Keeping that eye wide open!

Ian:
Better keep your peepers creepin
when you're asleep
Put your work in deep
Do what you can -Look before you leap

Your visit could end
If you're not careful my friend
Will you survive it?
Life as a not so private

She shoots him

Lydia:
He was Six foot two - big and stupid

Lydia:
Just the way I like them
He was on the case
He stumbles back to his office

Lydia:
And I was slummin for the night
He rolls the die
Lydia:
He was next in line for the Big Sleep
Lydia:
He was young - just the way I like 'em
Out of luck
