Moscow Rules Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Home again, but in your dreams you creep back to the wire
Tell the truth of something close they'll just call you a liar
But when it's done, you can't even retire
Back on the run, back in the line of fire

[Verse 2]
Turn the page, and burn the book the day we said goodbye
I walked alone, and looked ahead avoided all the eyes
And when it's dead, it doesn't even die
Nothing's new, nothing's cool
Here again and baby we're both fools

[Chorus]
Follows me, follows you
It's the same Moscow rules
Lonely man, I think you're never alone
Even at home
The empty seat across the table
Is staring back

[Verse 3]
Overcast, can't see the sun, but I can see the moon
Paralyzed by memories of ruined afternoons
Get out of bed, and come sing us a tune
Nothing's new, nothing's cool
Here again and baby we're both fools
[Chorus]
Follows me, follows you
It's the same Moscow rules
Lonely man, I think you're never alone
Even at home
The empty seat across the table
Is staring back

[Chorus]
Follows me, follows you
It's the same Moscow rules
Lonely man, I think you're never alone
Even at home
The empty seat across the table
Is staring back

Moscow Rules

Assume nothing.
Never go against your gut.
Everyone is potentially under opposition control.
Do not look back; you are never completely alone.
Go with the flow, blend in.
Vary your pattern and stay within your cover.
Lull them into a sense of complacency.
Do not harass the opposition.
Pick the time and place for action.
Keep your options open.
