Lyrics
[synth intro]
[Verse 1]
In the shadows of the city, 1965,
Detective Jones, sharp as a knife,
He walks the streets, he's got a case,
Looking for clues in every face.
[Pre-Chorus]
A bystander, a murderer, a cop on the beat,
Who holds the truth? Who's got the heat?
The clock is ticking, the night is long,
[Chorus]
Questions flying in the smoky air,
Who's the liar, who's playing fair?
With every answer, the mystery grows,
Detective Jones, where the truth flows.
[Verse 2]
Bystander shivers, caught in the glare,
"I saw nothing, I swear, I swear."
Jones leans in, his voice so low,
"Tell me again, what do you know?"
Detective Jones, he's gotta be strong.
[Pre-Chorus]
A bystander, a murderer, a cop on the beat,
Who holds the truth? Who's got the heat?
The clock is ticking, the night is long,
(tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock)
[Chorus]
Questions flying in the smoky air,
Who's the liar, who's playing fair?
With every answer, the mystery grows,
Detective Jones, where the truth flows.

[Bridge]
The murderer grins, but his eyes can't lie,
"Why'd you do it?" Jones gives a try.
Sweat on the brow, the pressure's high,
"Confess your sins, no alibis."
[Verse 3]
The cop stands firm, badge on his chest,
"Who's the culprit? We need the best."
Jones looks deep, in the eyes of blue,
"Help me out, or you're guilty too."
[Pre-Chorus]
A bystander, a murderer, a cop on the beat,
Who holds the truth? Who's got the heat?
The clock is ticking, the night is long,
[Chorus]
Questions flying in the smoky air,
Who's the liar, who's playing fair?
With every answer, the mystery grows,
Detective Jones, where the truth flows.
[Outro]
In the heart of the city, as dawn breaks near,
Detective Jones wipes away the fear.
The bystander sighs, the cop stands tall,
The murderer caught, he confesses all.
The truth unveiled, the guilty found,
In the sixties' glow, justice is crowned.
Detective Jones, with a knowing smile,
Solved the mystery, in classic style.
