kruezberg.berlin.late.1990s

i was falling in love with berlin... and out of an important relationship.

i was hanging with my friend danny dzuik, who produced this song for a record called öl or oil in english... it was only released in germany.

i was trying to write a creepy love song à la sting's every breath you take... and as far as my love songs go... i felt like i 'got it'...at least the creepy part.

I wish I could be a spy

Spend all my days

Looking in through your window

I blend into the night

Making sure that you're safe

From here in the shadows

I'd be closer to you

Then I'll ever be now

No matter how I have been fooling myself

I was time for goodbyes

I wish I could be a spy

Spend all my days

Looking over your shoulder

Espionage is a crime

But it's worth doing time

Just to watch you grow older

I run my hands through your things

For the memories they bring

Pretending that I am of soundness of mind

And you will come back, in time

I wish I could be a spy

Spend all my days

Reading through all your letters

I'm sure he's treating you fine

Doing all of the things

That I can do, but better

So I go into your files and

I rewrite the parts

Where I left you to cry

I'll be back in your heart

Where everything's fine

I wish I could be a spy
