A letra:

The docks, the clocks
A whisper woke him up
The smell of water would resume

The cave, the waves
Of light, the unreal night
That flat curving of a room, it gets funny

Prove it
Just the facts
The confidential

Ah, this case, this case
This case that I have been working on so long
So long

First, you creep, then, you leap
Up about a hundred feet
You're in so deep that you could write a book
Chirp-chirp, the birds
They're giving you the words
The world is just a feeling you undertook

Prove it
Just the facts
The confidential

Ah, this case, this case
This case that I have been working on so long
So long

Now, the rose, how it slows
You in such colourless clothes
Fantastic, you lose your sense of human
Project, protect
It's warm, and it's calm, and it's perfect
It's too too-too to put a finger on

Prove it
Ah, just the facts
Oh, the confidential

Ah, this case, this case
This case that I have been working on so long
So long

This case is closed
