Placebo - Surrounded By Spies lyrics

[Placebo - Surrounded By Spies lyrics]

I saw you jump from a burning building
I 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
I 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
