EDGE OF A KNIFE

Woken up from my slumber
4 hours of sleep head burns like thunder
I'm winking at the stewardess, she's shaped like a model
I slip the babe a 100 and she gives me a bottle
Exit the plane enter the morning
Egyptian sun hot sweat its pouring
Status MIA, my presence they request
All units on the search cuz they know that I'm the best
Walking through the market with a weight on my chest
I gotta save my nemesis and battle the stress
In 24 hours the silos empty
No one knows it now but they'll both be glad they sent me
So how to proceed as a debanair spy
With a phony passport and a $1,000 tie
The answer is simple, I gotta keep it arctic
Saving both powers while rescuing my heart its

Walking on the edge of a knife
In this fight
The riskiest bet to make its ya life
Walking on the edge of a knife
In this fight
On pure instinct yep I can't think twice

First step, gather information
Second step check subtle infiltration
Third step check total assimilation
When I get what I need, sever all the relations
So I climb up the ladder to the rival representative
Filling up my bladder with a heavy dose sedative
On the fist level I find
A strange ally that fits at this time
Stern face, cold eyes the militant element
Battling the godless getting down with fundamentalists
Dollars for dirt on the embassy they despise
"The ambassador works 'til a quarter to five
And he can't be bribed, so don't even try
A loyal Communist that's suspicious of spies
So I step to his crib in the plan I revised
Who opens the door? His wife with beautiful eyes

Walking on the edge of a knife
In this fight
The riskiest bet to make its ya life
Walking on the edge of a knife
In this fight
On pure instinct yep I can't think twice

My game is a spell I got her under hypnosis
A kitten neglected suddenly I'm in focus
I picked her a flower my guess her favorite
In the palm of my hand, this case is so basic
I guess that ya dude doesn't give ya attention
Whoa there honey, I got a couple questions
Collecting info slow and steady
Secrets come easy when they breathe heavy
The kitty is asleep its a quarter to four
Its easy to tell she never purred before
So I slide through the bed and drop to my objective
My plan is risky but I can't be selective
So I step to the embassy like I'm important
I know all the passwords now I'm in the fortress
Stroll through the lobby, past receptionist
The armed guards stare and he's having a fit
"How did you get in? Just who the hell are you?"
Triggers at the ready but I do like the sharks do
That means I'm unpredictable here's what I do next
I'm an American spy with info and I wanna defect
