[Verse 1] By the drainage ditch, I wait Tail stiff as a signpost Eyes on the alley seam Where the little things run Boot prints in the mud A wind through the fence chain I count every twitch Like a cop on a slow case [Pre-Chorus] I don’t rush, I don’t blink I just let the hours lean in One soft step, one deep breath Then the whole block freezes I’m waiting… I’m waiting… I’m waiting… Always waiting! [Chorus] Gumshoos, Gumshoos I wait all day Gumshoos, Gumshoos Then I take my prey Gumshoos, Gumshoos Cold eyes, clean move Gumshoos, Gumshoos That’s what I do [Saxophone solo] [Verse 2] I know the scrape of paws I know the rustle of reeds I know the whole town’s secret By the shape of its weeds Moon on the bottle glass Dust on my muzzle I stand in the dark Like I own every puddle [Pre-Chorus] I don’t rush, I don’t blink I just let the hours lean in One soft step, one deep breath Then the whole block freezes I’m waiting… I’m waiting… I’m waiting… Always waiting! [Chorus] Gumshoos, Gumshoos I wait all day Gumshoos, Gumshoos Then I take my prey Gumshoos, Gumshoos Cold eyes, clean move Gumshoos, Gumshoos That’s what I do [Saxophone solo] [Bridge] Every suspect runs When the gate starts to creak But I read their fear In the spill of their feet No big speech, no scene Just the end of the chase I was built for the night And the night knows my face [Chorus] Gumshoos, Gumshoos I wait all day Gumshoos, Gumshoos Then I take my prey Gumshoos, Gumshoos Cold eyes, clean move Gumshoos, Gumshoos That’s what I do I’m waiting… I’m waiting… I’m waiting… Always waiting! ooooooooooooooo Nanananananananananananana [Chorus] Gumshoos, Gumshoos I wait all day Gumshoos, Gumshoos Then I take my prey Gumshoos, Gumshoos Cold eyes, clean move Gumshoos, Gumshoos That’s what I do [Saxophone solo]
