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?
