the man inside the clues - marc shaiman lyrics

[hanratty (spoken)]
the flash?
peanut b-tter?
maybe he’s got a kid?
alright, mr. taylor, i know you’re in here somewhere

[hanratty]
some comic books
a miss july
a matchbook from “the flame”
some chewing gum
a mismatched pair of shoes

a letter home
but wasn’t mailed
a check without a name
yeah, they’ll be my guide
to the man inside the clues

a bobby pin
two baseball cards
some day-old chinese food
two ticket stubs
ah, the red sox always lose

a valentine
but wasn’t sent
a scent to set the mood
when i take a ride
with the man inside the clues

“do not disturb” is on the door
the maid, she never comes
he locked the door
but i don’t need a key

there’s only garbage on the floor
to others, they’re just crumbs
those crumbs look like
a five-course meal to me

i used my head
to get in his
so i can think like him
i see he flies
and also cries the blues

but if i look
at my own life
i’m out here on a limb
yeah, it’s best to hide
stay the man inside the clues

i’ve looked into so many lives
but never at my own
the trail i left is
such a d-mn cliche

the lonely wife
the house for sale
a million nights alone
to wish you had
the things you threw away

like a front door key
a home cooked meal
the happy bride and groom
then life kicks in
and makes you pay your dues

and then you find
you’re by yourself
in a single motel room
that’s been occupied
by the man inside
the clues
the clues
