Lyrics:
VERSE 1
I can disguise
Any side
I'm a spy
Aiming for lives
I can try
For the night

Oh, Zadie knows
Elongated i's and o's
Won't get me through
Glorified glory holes

CHORUS
On some days
I don't think
I wanna stay
Where I came from
These days
I don't think
I belong
Anywhere

VERSE 2
I’m for the fight
But, if I’ve got it right
Willing to try
Other sides
I’m too light?

Oh, anybody?

CHORUS

BRIDGE
Tell me
If you don’t want me
Why must I bleed you?

CHORUS X2
