Lyrics
I've got the answers to all of your questions
If you've got the money to pay me in gold
I will be living in old Monte Carlo
And you will be reading the secrets I've sold
Daggers and contacts and bright shiny Limo's
I've got a watch that turns into a lifeboat
Glimmering nightgowns and poisonous cobras
Silencer under the heel of my shoe
The Elegance of China, they sent her to lie here on her back
But as she deeply moves me, she'd rather shoot me in my tracks!
And while a Middle Asian lady, she really came as no surprise
But I still did destroy her. And I will smash Halo of Flies!
I crossed the ocean where no one could see
And I put a time-bomb in your submarine
Goodbye to old friends, the secret's at hand
With phony note papers and counterfeit plans
You never will understand
