There's somebody here with nothing to fear Were they looking over you Well it's the way it's supposed to be From now on I'll be watching As your friends will take the liberties in you I'll be watching as you lay awake thinking it over And now you're alone. There's nobody home Is it the way you like it And how was I supposed to know And know you'll stop believing as you separate Stop believing as you lay awake thinking it over And everything will start again tomorrow, beauty in the sun It's a way to come together, you can leave it when you're done And I'm never gonna be the instigator, taking on your plan I could leave it for the morning I could leave it for the secret agent man I told you before so tell me again And its worthy of defence But I know it anyway From now on I'll be watching as your friends will take The liberties in you I'll be watching as you lay awake thinking it over And everything will start again tomorrow, beauty in the sun It's a way to come together, you can leave it when you're done And I'm never gonna be the instigator, taking on your plan I could leave it for the morning I could leave it as it stands And it's something in the way the changes haunt you, I was not alone You could stay this way forever You could say you've just begun Now I'm never gonna be the instigator, taking on your plan I could leave it for the morning I could leave it for the secret agent man
