Private Eye

Ten stubbed out Embassy lay scattered on the floor
The silhouette behind the curtain disappeared from sight once more
Listening in again
Listening in again

The target reappeared, this time his luck was in
The microwave detector read the password as she typed it in
Listening in again
Listening in again

(Chorus)
All because of her job she spends her time in the spotlight
But it’s her private life where she suffers from stage fright
Private Eye

As she looked outside she saw the shadow move
Just another aspect of her life she knows she can’t remove
Hiding away again
Hiding away again

A glimpse, a click, a flash she’s failed to avoid
The intrusion once again; another moment’s been destroyed
Hiding away again
Hiding away again

(Bridge)
Perpetually the couple play out the game
She hides, he counts up to ten, she’s been discovered again
It always plays out the same
