Lyrics
Spy On The House Of Love
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.
The air was filled with suspicion
She poured us two martinis and tried to guess my mission
I pretended to know nothing, it's best to use discretion
But she turned her floodlight eyes on me and demanded a confession
I told her I am a spy in the house of love
Gathering clues to be used in a war of the affections
I am a spy in the house of love
I won't be refused, I'm waiting for your heart's defection
I saw everything that pleased her
I recorded every moment and plotted how to seize her
I used a tiny camera - I tought I'd Japanese her
I made a voodoo doll of her and sat around and squeezed her
I told her I am a spy in the house of love
Gathering clues to be used in a war of the affections
I am a spy in the house of love
I won't be refused, I'm waiting for your heart's defection
I'll read your mail
I'll tap your phone
I'm on your trail, you're never alone
One day you'll slip up and leave a lip-print on a coffee cup
