Espionage

(album: Parallel Universe (Disc 2 - Mixture) - 2002)

An autumn afternoon
Spent in the Secret City
These final chapters should have
Been left out of the story

In the apartment
The atmosphere hovers heavy
Zip up my black suede boots
I am almost ready

The hidden cameras
Function so discretely
As your images refract
(She) acted sad, sweetly

Loving you is easy
Especially espionage

Counterpoint agents
Suave and debonair
Leather shoulder holsters
And your breasts are bare

Adriatic hotel rooms
Smell of cordite and cologne
Systematic killer
From the Interzone

The Daimler's parked outside
Ready for your departure
Naturally we'll deny you
If you should be captured

Loving you is easy
Especially espionage

The double-crossed, the Doublethink
Got you doublegazed
Got you out of trouble
Back in Budapest

Something in the shadows
A blurry, grainy face
Can't hold on for long enough
So I can get a trace

I love it when you're naked
But for camouflage
Loving you is easy
Especially espionage
