Are we rolling?

One, two, one, two, three, four


Here in my little spy movie

With my garter and dagger

And my gag and my cuff

And my gunslinger's swagger

You used to be my handpainted villain

You used to be so thrilling


It's a switch that you're flicking

A future always tripping

A button that you're pressing

A number that you're pushing

You're always delaying

Denying and betraying

Why don't you come back baby

Why don't you go away

Go away, go away

Why don't you go away

Why don't you come back baby

Why don't you go away


Budapest entry

Three hours of black and white

Squinting at some titles

Through a telescopic sight

Hungarian melody repeating endlessly

Is this the end I see

Approaching in front of me


A switch that you're flicking

A future always tripping

A button that you're pressing

A number that you're pushing

You're always delaying

Denying or betraying

Why don't you come back baby

Why don't you go away

Go away, go away

Why don't you go away

Why don't you come back baby

Why don't you go away


In this hysterical epic

Secret passage of the palace

Powder from a hollow ring

Into the poisonous chalice

Unfrocked ???

In a half-moving gondola

??? ring and a wig (?)

Gambled a merry jig (?)


You're always pursuing

But she won't need possessing

Just undoing and undressing

Please don't stop confessing

You're always delaying

Denying or betraying

Why don't you come back baby

Why don't you go away

Go away, go away

Why don't you go away

Why don't you come back baby

Why don't you go away


In my mystery caper

As I lower my lam (?)

On a fey little gumshoe (?)

Between the trill of that fan

I walk in the shade of the silent parade

With my pepper and mace and my heartbroken face

Rainy railway station drowns out a tearful parting

Last canister rolling on our little melodrama

It's a white horse opera

A screwball comedy

Mistaken identity

Well who do you want to be


A switch that you're flicking

A future always tripping

A button that you're pressing

A number that you're pushing

You're always delaying

Denying or betraying

Why don't you come back baby

Why don't you go away

Go away, go away

Why don't you go away

Why don't you come back baby

Why don't you go away


Hey hey

Why don't you

Go away

Why don't you go away
