Lyrics

I never thought a moment spoke so well
 as the second when you tried to be kind
 Stumbling over the telephone ringing
 Looking for your voice on the line
 There was an orange lipped girl with her knees crossed
 Sitting on the carpetted coal
 She was holding onto the money
 and I was doing what I was told
 There was an undercover cop
 Parked right across the road
 Step away from the window
 You better move slow
 Yeah, I was only there for a minute, I swear
 I know he can't see me or
 Doesn't even care
 I hate pretending I'm like you
 So let's cut out the fire with scars
 Hanging all the lions on the floor
 Searching through the piles of dust
 Filling all the pockets with coal
 There was an undercover cop
 Parked right across the road
 Step away from the window
 You better move slow
 Yeah, I was only there for a minute, I swear
 I know he can't see me or
 Doesn't even care
 This is just what it was like
 And for one kiss there's a moment
 'Cause I was just along for the ride
 Do you believe him, Love
 in the art of persuasion?
 There was an undercover cop
 Parked right across the road
 He's looking right at me, I think we'd better go
 Yeah, I'm headed for the door and switching off the light
 We look like we just got here, but we've been here all night
