The Private Investigators

The Private Investigators

they are going to get you
sooner or later
they are on your trail
the private investigators
listen at the cracks
at the mysterious creaks
because when it is time to reveal all
they will speak
you can talk like a parrot
snap like an alligator
shout and scream, but you cannot hide
from the private investigators
they are outside in disguise
false faces and a different size
looking for traitors,
the private investigators
they are coming after you
so you had better be on guard
they will be here sooner or later
better be fast,
the private investigators
they will take you apart
to extract the information
then disappear into the sky
higher and higher
the private investigators


James Garratt – July 1995
