														   Now ain't it strange that I feel
like Philby, 

There's a stranger in my soul


I'm lost in transit in a lonesome city 

I can't come in from the cold 



I'm
deep in action on a secret mission 

Contact's broken down 

Time drags by,
I'm above suspicion, 

There's a voice on
the telephone 



Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.  2x 



Well it sure
is dark in this clockwork city 

Contact's
never gonna show 

I've got a code which
can't be broken, 

My eyes never seem to
close 

Well, I'm standing here in the
silent city 

Shadows falling down 

I'n disconnected but I don't need pity, 

The night's gonna burn on slow. 



Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.  2x 



Now ain't it funny that I feel like
Philby, 

A stranger on a foreign shore. 

I've got my plans and I must move quickly, 

There's a knock upon the door. 

Still in
transit and I'm close to danger, 

My cover
can't be blown, 

It's getting strange and
it's getting crazy, 

Tell me, what is going
on? 



Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah,
yeah.  2x 



Four o'clock and
nothing's moving, 

Six o'clock and the
daylight's stirring, 

Morning comes, must
be moving on. 

All night long my mind's
been burning, 

Makes me feel such a long,
long way from home, home 



Now ain't
it strange that I feel like Philby, 

There's a stranger in my soul 

I'm lost
in transit in a lonesome city 

I can't come
in from the cold
