I never thought a moment spoke so well   as the second when you tried to be kind   Stumbling over the telephone ringing   Looking for your voice on the line      There was an orange lipped girl with her knees crossed   Sitting on the carpetted coal   She was holding onto the money   and I was doing what I was told      There was an undercover cop   Parked right across the road   Step away from the window   You better move slow      Yeah, I was only there for a minute, I swear   I know he can't see me or   Doesn't even care      I hate pretending I'm like you      So let's cut out the fire with scars   Hanging all the lions on the floor   Searching through the piles of dust   Filling all the pockets with coal      There was an undercover cop   Parked right across the road   Step away from the window   You better move slow      Yeah, I was only there for a minute, I swear   I know he can't see me or   Doesn't even care      This is just what it was like   And for one kiss there's a moment      'Cause I was just along for the ride   Do you believe him, Love   in the art of persuasion?      There was an undercover cop   Parked right across the road   He's looking right at me, I think we'd better go      Yeah, I'm headed for the door and switching off the light   We look like we just got here, but we've been here all night
