Lyrics

DETECTOR
Words & Music by
Lee Kweller & David Fox

You've been workin' like a dog all summer
And yeah, it's been a hot one
Now you're bitchin' 'bout the job you got...You sweat a lot
But man, at least you've got one

And that topless bar they dressed up like a dance club
Is still the same old dive
And the rhetoric your congressman's been handin' you
Is still the same old jive

DETECTOR
You got a built-in DETECTOR (3X)
And you know how to survive

Now the smilin' mohair maven from Manhattan
Is the one you cannot trust
And the friend who got you good grass
Didn't tell you how they sprayed on angel dust

And the TV ad is promisin' you
Wisdom, wealth and thrills
But when you're finished fantasizin'
All you got is last month's bills

DETECTOR
You got a built-in DETECTOR (3X)
And you're trained in takin' spills

And you're feelin' like life's a downslide
Your lover's actin' strange
Her angry words are bullets
You're a target on her rifle range

You got yourself a parachute
And told the blues that you were gonna bail out
Then you packed up all your stuff...You had enough
And now you're gonna sail out

Hey, the world is lookin' different
You can see the fadin' coast line from afar
There's a peaceful feelin' deep inside you
Like you're floatin' on a star

DETECTOR
You got a built-in DETECTOR (3X)
And you found out who you are
