I saw you jump from a burning building

Iâve seen you move like Elvis set on fire

This search for meaning
Ping pong ball at the back of my throat
Ping pong ball at the back of my throat
And I won't be spoken to like that

Suspicious bag on the platform

Ex-drummerâs nose stuck in the past

Stage four, stage two, stage three
Stage four, stage two, stage three
We go to Sweden in the back of a cab
We go to Sweden in the back of a cab
And every picture house is empty
And every picture house is empty
I gave my heart, now I want it back
Gave my heart, now I want it back

I am surrounded by spies

Dead fly on the national anthem

Dead fly on the national anthem
Dead fly on the national anthem
I see faces on the bathroom floor

Come on over and I'll show you more
Where are you now when I need you the most?
(Shut up)

________
The song was inspired by frontman Brian Molko discovering his neighbours were spying on him:
âI began writÂing the lyrÂics when I disÂcovered my neighÂbors were spyÂing on me on behalf of parties with a nefarÂiÂous agenda.
âI then began to ponÂder the countÂless ways in which our priÂvacy has been eroded and stolen since the introÂducÂtion of worldÂwide CCTV camÂeras.
âThe rise of the interÂnet and the cellÂphone has turned pracÂticÂally every user into a paparazzo and specÂtatÂors in their own lives.
âAnd we have mostly all offered up perÂsonal informÂaÂtion to enormÂous mulÂtinaÂtionÂals whose sole intent is to exploit us.
âI used the cut-up techÂnique invenÂted by WilÂliam S BurÂroughs and popÂularÂised in modÂern song by David Bowie.
âItâs a true story told through a lens of paraÂnoia, comÂplete disÂgust for modÂern sociÂetyâs valÂues and the deiÂficÂaÂtion of surÂveilÂlance capÂitÂalÂism.â
