I Spy

They put me out to pasture,
the faceless cowards of conspiracy.
I wonder why they're after me.

Searching for the answers,
but the shadows have signed contracts with the spies
to help them serve a nasty surprise.

I cannot sleep, cause if I close my eyes I will die
by the hands of hidden spies
that lie waiting in the shadow
my, oh my, why?

They're crawling on the ceiling
and sabotaging every filament.
The light's not been the same since.

My things are slightly shifted
I hear the mongrels bark when no one's there
The children stop their playing and stare

I cannot sleep, cause if I close my eyes I will die
by the hands of hidden spies
that lie waiting in the shadow
my, oh my, why?

I'm tired too tired to talk anymore
You've got the wrong guy
I swear I don't know nothing about nothing
I'm no threat to you
You've gotta believe me, you've gotta leave me be
You've got the wrong guy
I'm tired too tired to talk anymore
