[Verse 1]
Detective is flat
No longer is always flat out
Got the number of the getaway car
Didn't get very far

[Verse 2]
As lucid as hell
These images moving so fast
Like a fever
So close to the bone
I don't feel too well

[Chorus]
And if you choose
To take that path
I will play you like a shark
And I'll clutch at your heart
I'll come flying like a spark
To enflame you

[Verse 3]
Sleeping alone
For pleasure, the pineapple head
It spins and it spins
Like a number I hold
Don't remember if she was my friend
It was a long time ago

[Chorus]
And if you choose
To take that path
I will play you like a shark
And I'll clutch at your heart
I'll come flying like a spark
To enflame you

[Verse 3: Refrain]
Sleeping alone
For pleasure, the pineapple head
It spins and it spins
Like a number I hold
Don't remember if she was my friend
It was a long time ago

[Pre-Chorus]
And if you choose
To take that path
Would you come to make me pay?

[Chorus]
I will play you like a shark
And I'll clutch at your heart
I'll come flying like a spark
To enflame you

[Outro]
I will clutch at your heart
And come flying like a spark
To enflame you, ah!
