lyrics

I made a deal with a foreign power. They'd keep us safe when everything changed. But I thought I knew you. I thought I knew what you wanted. I thought it was love, but it was something more dangerous. It was me. It was always me. It's me again.

They invented the room to keep me in it. They invented the mail to read all my thinking. They invented the phone to hear all my breathing. They invented the wife to take her from me. It was me. It was always me. It's me again.

I hear your words through the mouth of the keyhole. I know you want me to disappear. And I've already vanished from the national press. But all that I wanted was for you to hear me. It was me. It was always me. It's me again.
