The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Espionage, the words to come back to me
Sidewinder, you clepto,
You do steal things
Unawares, but I don't care
You can't have me
You can't have me
You can't have me
You can't have me, not for free.
Gymnast, working out on the parallel rails
Cuttin' trails, screams and wails
Face go pale, never fails
You do steal things
Unawares, but I don't care
You can't have me
You can't have me
You can't have me
You can't have me, not for free.
The drummer said you were not very clean
The drummer said you were not very clean
And I know what he means
And I know what he means
You can't have me
You can't have me
You can't have me
You can't have me, not for free.
