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
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
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 window and a pain behind the eyes
Scarred for life - no compensation, Private investigations
