and I don't even know who you are
but I would not disappoint you
if you let me kiss your mouth
if you let me get to the bottom of you
if you let me find you out
everybody knows you
nobody knows you!
everybody knows you
I want to know you!
o, but I, in the name of my namesake
am a beautiful fly on the wall of
your four-chambered heart-break
a spy in the house of your love
