Espionage, the words to come back to me
Sidewinder, you clepto
You do steal things
Unawares, but I don't care

You can't have me

You can't have me

You can't have me
You can't have me, not for free

The drummer said you were not very clean

And I know what he means
And I know what he means

You can't have me
You can't have me
You can't have me
You can't have me, not for free
