Dire Straits - My Investigation

It`s a mystery to me.
the game commences.
for the usual fee, plus expences.
confidential information, it`s in a diary.
this is my investigation, it`s not a public inquary.

i go checkin out the reports, diggin up the dirt, you get to meet all sorts in this line of work.
treatury and treason, theres always an excuse for it.
and when i find the reason, i still cant get used to it.

and what have you got at the end of the day.
wat have you got to take away.
a bottle of wiskey and a new set of lies.
blinds on a window and a pain behind the eyes.

scarred for life.
no compensation.
private investigation.
