"Spies" lyrics

"Spies"

Vacuous beauty in your boutique
Nothing subtle, nothing cheap
I went to sleep and paid the priests
To keep watch over me
I paid the priest
To breathe life into me

We used to stay up all night
Thinking we were all spies
Praying that tomorrow won't come
Shut your mouth and fight it
Take it out and light it
Throw it at the wall to come
The wall to come down

A kick in the teeth in a dead-end street
And left me there to bleed
So don't compare 'cause I don't care
For your insecurities
You come alive when you see
The angels breathing ashes

We used to stay up all night
Thinking we were all spies
Praying that tomorrow won't come
Shut your mouth and fight it
Take it out and light it
Throw it at the wall to come
The wall to come down

Running off your face all over town
Your only mistake was coming down

We used to stay up all night
Thinking we were all spies
Praying that tomorrow won't come
Shut your mouth and fight it
Take it out and light it
Throw it at the wall to come
The wall to come down
