Two Ton Boa - Gumshoe lyrics

That fateful day I pa**ed through an alley off the Avenue A shadow pushed me into you - you asked me for a dance Demanded moonlight romance Well tell me what's a lonely girl to do? With a real tenacious guy, a gum-chewing spy A stalker with a gla**y eye How could you show me all your tricks Then ask me not to spit Your candy bullets back at you? Gumshoe... THAT'S YOU! If I'm a train on the tracks Then you're the hobo on my back You're a parasitic free-loading rat! I call you Clyde, cause you're a mack In your coat and your pilfered hat Hunting Bonnies with your rat-a-tat-tat You're sticky, sweet as can be Like taffy, you're stuck all over me - GUMSHOE! I think you need another clue - here's one for you: I'm the train on the tracks And you're the hobo on my back You're an unrelenting blood-s**ing gnat! A politician in the sack, flipping words like an acrobat Well you get my vote you make a cra** diplomat! Your words are cheap, oh so sugary sweet Like little candy leeches you spit out on the street They snag my heels, to beg for bigger meals You'd like them s**ing on my injuries Oh gumshoe, is it really true? You trade your friendships for this kind of fun? You've got so much love for your adrenalin rush That stale and sugar-coated spineless stuff GUMSHOE! That's what you do If I'm a racehorse on the tracks I've got a monkey on my back Better shake him fast or I'll be finishing last! You gambled love to win, you gambled love to lose That's how you gambled off my interest in you You're sticky, sweet as can be Like taffy, you're stuck all over me You want to untangle my inner mysteries But I just want to peel you off of me! Oh gumshoe, is it really true You trade your friendships for this kind of fun? You've got so much love for your adrenalin rush You could chew a bullet into tasteless mush!
