Oh missus, it's a darker one...

Staring through the one way glass Watching for signs of deception Asking questions again and again Looking for different answers

Body language, ways of speaking Ways of avoiding the truth Emotions hidden, occasionally leaking Always, always looking for proof

Decor to match the occasion Lighting which flickers and buzzes Walls mostly bare of emotion Cameras which look for evasion

Clocks which count down the hours Ticking their terrible tale Recorders which never pass judgment On murders assaults and blackmail

It’s getting hot in here It’s getting hot in here But there’s no time for a break
