Song lyrics

I saw you jump from a burning building,
I saw you jump from a burning building,
I've seen you move like Elvis set on fire,
I've seen you move like Elvis set on fire,
This search for meaning is killing me,
This search for meaning is killing me,
This search for meaning is killing me,
This search for meaning–

Ping pong ball at the back of my throat,
Ping pong ball at the back of my throat,
And I won't be spoken to like that,
And I won't be spoken to like that.

Suspicious bag on the platform,
Suspicious bag on the platform,
Suspicious bag on the platform,
Suspicious bag on the platform.

Ex-drummer's nose stuck in the past,
Ex-drummer's nose stuck in the past,
Found dead behind the wheel of a car,
Found dead behind the wheel of a car.

World leader going under the knife,
World leader going under the knife,
Stage four,
Stage two,
Stage three!
Stage four,
Stage two,
Stage three!

We go to Sweden in the back of a cab,
We go to Sweden in the back of a cab.

And every picture house is empty,
And every picture house is empty.

I gave my heart,
Now I want it back,
I gave my heart,
Now I want it back,
I gave my heart,
Now I want it back,
I gave my heart,
Now I want it back.

I am surrounded by spies,
I am surrounded by spies,
I am surrounded by spies,
I am surrounded by spies.

Dead fly on the national anthem,
Dead fly on the national anthem,
Dead fly on the national anthem,
Dead fly on the national anthem.

I see faces on the bathroom floor,
I see faces on the bathroom floor,
I see faces on the bathroom floor,
Come on over and I'll show you more.

Where are you now
When I need you the most?
(Shut up)
Where are you now
When I need you the most?
(Shut up)
Where are you now
When I need you the most?
(Shut up)
Where are you now
When I need you the most?
(Shut up)

I am surrounded by spies,
I am surrounded by spies,
I am surrounded by spies,
I am surrounded by spies,
I am surrounded by spies,
I am surrounded by spies,
I am surrounded by spies,
I am surrounded by spies,
I am surrounded by spies,
I am surrounded by spies,
I am surrounded by spies,
I am surrounded by spies.

Spies,
Spies,
Spies–
