about

The spy who knew too much better watch his back.

lyrics

THE INFORMANT

This kind of thing burns hot and slow
It’s bound to scald the flesh if you don’t let it go
But who to tell and who to trust
And who remembers anything that you discussed?

It’s nuclear in foreign hands
Somebody better get it before they makes their plans
In the underground, in the dark of night
You deliver up a paper that brings it all to light

The informant sleeps with one eye open
He’s the only real hope, real hope
Of bringing them down
The informant sleeps with one eye open
He’s the only real hope, real hope
Of bringing them down

Corruption, lies and years of greed
They were thinking they would never really ever bleed
But you found a crack in their steel hearts
You stick the knife in deep and watch them break apart

The informant sleeps with one eye open
He’s the only real hope, real hope
Of bringing them down
The informant sleeps with one eye open
He’s the only real hope, real hope
Of bringing them down

Bridge: You have it all, you make the plan
But someone’s waiting with a gun in hand
You see the one you’re supposed to meet
But the bullets start flying right there in the street
If you turn back now you’ll have to disappear
Or kill yourself from living everyday in fear

CHORUS
