These are instructions

From me to you

See I have a plan

That we must follow through

I will make it so clear

That you'll be in no doubt

These are my instructions

Over and out


I know better than anybody

If he's lying or if he's sorry

I think we should leave

you go get her then give the nod

he says he's trying well thank the lord

he says that we should leave

I think so


Beware the man in the phonebooth

with suicase and shoes

rattling loose change in pockets

telling his wife the bad news

you see this is entertainment

he takes a gulp of think air

these are instructions

for the underprepared

(you really should know by now)
