I should thank you almost
no one could kill it off until you bled it
but I got rid of that ghost
'though certain habits remain imbedded
with the shadow of a doubt
but baby it was you who fed it
and I don't know what else to say
but I think you get it.
I should've known
it was coming down to this
I should've known
you would betray me but without the kiss
I should've known
the kind of set-up it is.
And always isn't always
when it's not your photograph that I've been keeping
but you still live in those days
when I'd stay awake just to watch you sleeping
you delivered that blow
but it left a mark on me that you're not seeing
and I don't know what else you hear
but it's not me weeping
I should've known
it was coming down to this
I should've known
you would betray me but without the kiss
I should've known
the kind of set-up it is.
I should've seen the cracks in the ceiling
and the mirror covered up with dust
but I was busy talking on the phone
I should've seen the obstacles but I said,
this house was built for us
hello
is anybody home?
I should've known
the minute that we hit the wall
I should've known
the writing was upon the stall
I should've known
'cause Rome was starting to fall
and I should thank you, almost.somewhere down in mother Russia
they make plans to take the world
thousands of veiled secrets
hidden deep inside their rooms
with all their special agents
trying to fool each other
each side wants to be the smartest
in this abnormal war
but you always have to hear
both sides of the story
it isn't just one country
which we have to blame
I can go on with these stories
until the last one is bored
but ignorance and stupidity
will survive forever
spy versus spy
is the name of the game
when we are all left
there is no one to blame
getting the power
is the aim of the game
lying to each other
all for the fame
