Streets of London

How come they never learn their lesson
Never learn we're gonna beat them?
It's like they're trying to reinvent a new way to cause crime
But there's hundreds and I've seen them
And they always think they're dealt a "get away" from
Mother Fate but mother fate doesn't deal them
Not when you're messing with Sherlock and John
You just lose your freedom

I've seen so many cases, it amazes me
I write them and they read them
And the newspapers printing all his fame, people singing
Blown away by his reason
And right by his side is my spot
And I'm just fine writing lines of what he did
If Sherlock's on the case, no one can match his pace
This Doctor guarantees it
And so it's gone, on and on, every time
In this city, it's gritty but we like it just fine

Streets of London hide nothing from Sherlock's eyes
This darkening plot is not what you thought so
Are you watching close enough?
Blink you'll miss this mystery unwind
He won't be outdone
Sherlock Holmes, always one step ahead of them
There's only one you can't outrun in London

This Baker Street detective, he's setting records
He's so effective putting criminals behind bars
It's his perspective, this sleuth perfected his method
I'm still a skeptic
You just say that 'cause the job's ours
Sherlock couldn't even connect with those who are closest, just saying
Ok but admit, picture this, where would we be without him?
Every clue is a move playing this game
They think they're players, well, what a mistake to make 'cause

Streets of London hide nothing from Sherlock's eyes
This darkening plot is not what you thought so
Are you watching close enough?
Blink you'll miss this mystery unwind
He won't be outdone
Sherlock Holmes, always one step ahead of them
There's only one you can't outrun in London

Mr. Holmes, man, you've done it again
Another case to your name, wow, where to begin?
Your science of deduction needs no introduction
Let me tell you something
The blind could see those clues
He doesn't have any friends
All I do is look at the facts and that's enough to form a conclusion
Add to it the genius
And the meanness
Humility is meaningless
You gotta see this

Streets of London hide nothing from Sherlock's eyes
This darkening plot is not what you thought so
Are you watching close enough?
Blink you'll miss this mystery unwind
He won't be outdone
Sherlock Holmes, always one step ahead of them
There's only one you can't outrun
In the Streets of London
Are you watching close enough?
