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
