THE MANHATTAN TRANSFER lyrics : "Spies In The Night"

(Music by Jay Graydon, Alan Paul, & David Foster; Lyrics by Alan
Paul)
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
