Lyrics for Private Eye by Alkaline Trio
Songwriters: Andriano, Daniel Michael; Felumlee, Mike; Skiba, Matthew Thomas
And at the right place, at the right time
That sense DNA on barbed wire fences
I dragged this lake looking for corpses
The New Year's Eve was as boring as heaven
Don't lie
I'll be dead wrong and you'll be just fine
And I won't have to quit doing fucked up shit
I won't have to quit doing fucked up shit
(Don't lie)
Pieces of planes and black box recorders
It will have been worth it to stand in line
But at the right place,at the right time
Don't lie
There's no reason to call, I passed out on the floor
You won't have to quit doing fucked up shit
For anyone but me
That has no alibi
But at the right place, at the right time
Pieces of planes and black box recorders
You won't have to stop, saying, "I love cops"
And you won't have to stop, saying "I love cops"
But at the right place, at the right time
And at the right place, at the right time
And I've been preoccupied with these sick, sick senses
For anyone but me, your private eye
It will have been worth it to stand in line
I watched flies fuck on channel 11
That has no alibi
It will have been worth it to stand in line
And there's no ring, there's no ring on the phone anymore
Maybe someday, I'll find me a suspect
You won't have to stop, saying, "I love cops"
For anyone but me
Dusted for prints, pried up the floorboards
There was no one to kiss, there was nothing to drink
For anyone but me, your private eye, your private eye
That sense DNA on barbed wire fences
Except some old rotten milk someone left in the sink
Smoked myself stupid and drank my insides raisin' dry
At the right place, at the right time
I'll be dead wrong and you'll be just fine
Maybe someday I'll find me a suspect
(Don't lie)
I'll be dead wrong and you'll be just fine
And I've been preoccupied with these sick, sick senses
For anyone but me
