lyrics

The room has been empty for a long, long time —
There's still yellow tape across the door,
And nobody's lived here since that awful crime —
You see the chalk outline on the floor?

The best of detectives have all come and gone;
They looked over every inch of this place.
What makes you so certain that you'll be the one
To solve the case?

You tell me you've got this new technology
That everyone else has yet to use,
And if I am patient, I will surely see
How you can unravel all the clues.

All of the others have told me the same,
And they never found any leads they could chase.
Flashing your badge here and talking your game
Won't solve the case.

You should be thankful I am telling you,
Instead of selling you
False hope...

I know you believe you've got plenty of skill
And you've got a method that I should embrace,
But I don't believe it, and I never will —
So get off my case.
