i was falling in love with berlin…and out of an important relationship.
i was hanging with my friend danny dzuik, who produced this song for a record called öl or oil in english…it was only released in germany.
i was trying to write a creepy love song à la sting's every breath you take…and as far as my love songs go…i felt like i ‘got it'…at least the creepy part.
I wish I could be a spy
Spend all my days
Looking in through your window
I blend into the night
Making sure that you're safe
From here in the shadows
I'd be closer to you
Then I'll ever be now
No matter how I have been fooling myself
I was time for goodbyes
I wish I could be a spy
Spend all my days
Looking over your shoulder
Espionage is a crime
But it's worth doing time
Just to watch you grow older
I run my hands through your things
For the memories they bring
Pretending that I am of soundness of mind
And you will come back, in time
I wish I could be a spy
Spend all my days
Reading through all your letters
I'm sure he's treating you fine
Doing all of the things
That I can do, but better
So I go into your files and
I rewrite the parts
Where I left you to cry
I'll be back in your heart
Where everything's fine
I wish I could be a spy
