Surrounded By Spies Lyrics by Placebo

 

I saw you jump from a burning building
Saw you jump from a burning building
I’ve seen you move like Elvis set on fire
I’ve seen you move like Elvis set on fire

This search for meaning is killing me
This search for meaning is killing me
This search for meaning is killing me
This search for meaning

Ping pong ball at the back of my throat
Ping pong ball at the back of my throat
And I won’t be spoken to like that
And I won’t be spoken to like that

Suspicious bag on the platform
Suspicious bag on the platform
Suspicious bag on the platform
Suspicious bag on the platform

Ex-drummer’s nose stuck in the past
Ex-drummer’s nose stuck in the past
Found dead behind the wheel of a car
Found dead behind the wheel of a car

World leader going under the knife
World leader going under the knife
Stage four, stage two, stage three
Stage four, stage two, stage three

We go to Sweden in the back of a cab
We go to Sweden in the back of a cab
And every picture house is empty
And every picture house is empty

I gave my heart, now I want it back
Gave my heart, now I want it back
I gave my heart, now I want it back
I gave my heart, now I want it back

I am surrounded by spies
I am surrounded by spies
I am surrounded by spies
I am surrounded by spies

Dead fly on the national anthem
Dead fly on the national anthem
Dead fly on the national anthem
Dead fly on the national anthem

I see faces on the bathroom floor
I see faces on the bathroom floor
I see faces on the bathroom floor
Come on over, and I’ll show you more

Where are you now when I need you the most? (Shut up)
Where are you now when I need you the most? (Shut up)
Where are you now when I need you the most? (Shut up)
Where are you now when I need you the most? (Shut up)

I am surrounded by spies
I am surrounded by spies
I am surrounded by spies
I am surrounded by spies

I am surrounded by spies
I am surrounded by spies
I am surrounded by spies
I am surrounded by spies

I am surrounded by spies
I am surrounded by spies
I am surrounded by spies
I am surrounded by spies

Spies
Spies
Spies
