Spies In The Night Lyrics - Manhattan Transfer

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 

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 

{Hello 

The winds are calm in the channel 

The boat will sail at midnight 

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

You're being watched, by who? 

I have your pictures 

Oh, thank you, you don't know how much this means to me 

Do you have my money? 

Yes, of course I do 

Meet me in an hour, position A, code 3XZ, I'll 

Hello, hello, hello} 

Spies in the night 

They go wherever you are 

You're in their sight 

Watch out for spies in the night 

Spies in the night 

They go wherever you are 

You're in their sight 

Watch out for spies in the night
