Manhattan Transfer - SPIES IN THE NIGHT lyrics

Shadows looking through an open window

Footsteps following wherever you go

Undercover eyes

Search to find the key to alibis

Living in a hideaway

You can't hide

You can never get away

They'll find you

Be aware of strangers in the dark

Jealous lovers quarrel in suspicion

Passions justifying their positions

Vengeance on the rise

Now they're throwing daggers from their eyes

Maybe they can find a way

Past their pride

Live and let it die away

If not they'll

Lie a lot and fight a lot

But you beware

'Cause in the air they're

Spies in the night

They go wherever you are

You're in their sight

Watch out for spies in the cold, cold, restless night

Heartache like a burning, turning fever

Someone tells his girl that he will leave her

Ooo her ravaged eyes

Kiss goodbye the years of hidden lies

Photos taken on display he denies

But the cheating heart will pay

She says you lie a lot

And fight a lot

but it's in vain

You can't explain 'cause

Spies in the night

They go wherever you are

You're in their sight

Watch out for spies in the night

Sorry, now you will pay

Cheryl: Hello

Alan: The winds are calm in the channel.

Cheryl: The boat will sail at midnight.

Alan: Listen very carefully to me. I don't have much time and I'm being watched.

Cheryl: You're being watched - By who?

Alan: I have your pictures.

Cheryl: Oh. Thank you. You don't know how much this means to me.

Alan: Do you have my money?

Cheryl: Yes. Of course I do.

Alan: Meet me in an hour. Position A. Code 3XZ. I'll...

Cheryl: Hello! Hello!! Hello!!!

Spies in the night

They go wherever you are

You're in their sight

Watch out for spies in the night
