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
