We can drag you out of bed in the middle of the night. Drive tanks along your street looking for a flight. We can put you in a cell an dash away the key.
[Chorus]. You could meet somebody, you never know. From brief encounters habits grow. Into giant oaks that hide the sun. Life in the shadows ain't no fun.
I thought I knew you well, your right and wrong. Thought I could steal your secrets and put them in a song. I thought that you'd be waiting patiently for me.
