Searcher

A hot Seattle day turned into cool, misty night
I look for the wanted
Searcher of clues through the city streets 
Coffee and talk radio
Waiting for the night's foe
I search
Payday in sight
We all choose a path
Sometimes right
Felt my share of wrong too
Life's wrath for the common 
Sharper than a serpent's tooth
I search
Morning sun rises
Tattered
Close of day for the searcher

City Sleuth

The seedy side of town with its human zoo
I travel the city streets following leads through
the cesspool

The city often unpleasant and mean
Causing those unprepared to bleed

I get the job done, I do what it takes
The city is mine to run

Some play the wrong game
They feel the pain
Fools, no one else to blame 

Clients pay me to get information
It's what I do

Private Eye

Following, watching

Evidence to eventually arrive

Following clues, searching

Private Eye

Never to malign

Getting answers, looking for truth

My work sublime

Private Eye

Private cop, some say

A Private Eye, a private spy

I investigate

Gatherer of information

Obtaining evidence

Statements

Surveillance photos

Pursuit video

Sometimes performing ruses

Spy cameras, hidden audio equipment I wear

I investigate, I spy

I follow the facts

I help people in despair

Private Eye
