lyrics

I've been trying to solve your mystery. Ever since you first kissed me, I've been trying to solve your mystery. Ever since I got hooked, I've been drawing hearts in my casebook. Come on - the game's afoot!

But try as I might, I just can't understand the dreams dancing under your speckled headband. Logic and observation fail. My deduction skills pale when compared to the enigma of each breath you exhale.

I'm searching for clues, like Sherlock Holmes. But Professor Moriarty, you're not. I'm searching for clues, like Sherlock Holmes. So far, this broken heart's the only lead I've got.

I've been trying to solve your mystery. Ever since you first dissed me, I've been trying to solve your mystery. But you keep fucking with my head, contradicting things you've said by saying different things instead.

For now I'll just read between the lines that I've heard - the instant messages I've cut-n-paste to Microsoft Word, and read with eyes of red. Your words screaming in my head. You're going... going... Maud Gonne! And I'm going to bed.

And when I think about the things you said to me, it's elementary my dear:
"I don't know what I want. But while I'm young and dumb, I wanna have some fun. You can wait right here."

Should there come a time when you make up your mind, you know where I'll be; I'm never hard to find. I'll be writing out X's and O's, whiting out hexes and woes, and finally declaring this case closed.

I'm searching for clues like Sherlock Holmes, though lately I just feel like Slylock Fox.
