Private Eye Songtext
von Sailor

I watched the dawning of a concrete day
Got out of bed, scratched my head, had a hotel shake
Operator called me up just to say hey hey
You′ve got a message to call her now
She said the writing's on the wall right now
You′ve got a message to call, she said that's all
She switched the light on in the swimming pool
A silhouette with a cigarette, boy was I cool
She flicked right through me then I fell off my stool

You've gotta find me some truth she said
I don′t need money or eternal youth she said
Mr. Romero won′t you find me the truth, find me the truth

I'm just a private eye
An ordinary guy
You′re asking me to find you paradise
Makes a change from homicide and vice
I'll be your private eye


There must be something more than this
A swimming pool, crazy fool and a Hollywood kiss
The finest clothes and breakfast at Tiffany′s

You've gotta find me some truth she said
I don′t need money or eternal youth she said
Mr. Romero won't you find me the truth, find me the truth

I'm just a private eye
No ordinary guy
Trust in me and I will find you paradise
Now sit back and watch the sun arise
I′ll be your private eye

I′m floating, I'm floating, I′m floating higher than the sun
To find the truth no stone unturned

Paradise
Now sit back and watch the sun arise

I'll be your private eye
I′m just a private eye
No ordinary guy
Trust in me and I will find you paradise
Now sit back and watch the sun arise
I'll be your private eye


We talked all night about the science age
And how a soft remembered word would turn the page
And make way for the wisdom of the sage

You′ve got a message to call her now
She said the writing's on the wall right now

You've got a message to call her now
She said the writing′s on the wall right now
You′ve got a message to call her now
She said the writing's on the wall right now
You′ve got a message to call her now
She said the writing's on the wall right now
You′ve got a message to call her now
She said the writing's on the wall right now
You′ve got a message to call her now
She said the writing's on the wall right now
