I awake to find no peace of mind

I said, "How do you live as a fugitive

Down here where I cannot see so clear?"

I said, "What do I know

Show me the right way to go"



And the spies came out of the water

But you're feeling so bad 'cause you know

That the spies hide out in every corner

But you can't touch them no

'Cause they're all spies 

They're all spies



I awake to see that no one is free

We're all fugitives

Look at the way we live

Down here I cannot sleep from fear no

I said, "Which way do I turn?"

Oh I forget everything I learn



And the spies came out of the water

And you're feeling so bad 'cause you know

That the spies hide out in every corner

But you can't touch them no

'Cause they're all spies 

They're all spies



And if we don't hide here

They're gonna find us

And if we don't hide now

They're gonna catch us where we sleep

Ah and if we don't hide here

They're gonna find us



And the spies came out of the water

But you're feeling so good 'cause you know

That those spies hide out in every corner

They can't touch you, no

'Cause they're just spies
