That click on the phone
Where they’re listening in to what’s going down
Their bugs in the walls
They’ll be listening, listening, listening in
You can’t go out in the sun
Their most wanted, number one
Am I what I seem
Or was I sent in to see what is going down
Every passionate scream
They’ll be listening, listening, listening in
You shine like a distant sun
Their most wanted, number one
And you could spend your days
And you could waste away
Behind the curtain sways
Watching their silhouettes
And we could pass the days
In countless other ways
But when we come back safe
You smell their cigarettes
I do what I must
When you’re breaking me ‘bout what’s going on
The lie detector tests
They’ll be listening, listening, listening in
Bare bulb blazing like a sun
Agent 43771
And now you spend your days
While I just waste away
Behind the curtain sways
I watch the silhouettes
And now you pass your days
In countless other ways
And when you come back late
I smell their cigarettes
