C.I.A.

Sometimes the rain upon the sea

Can make the gray look green to me

And when I'm into all that gray

I'll make the morning last all day

See, I've been down to New South Wales

Both my brothers been in jail

Ah, but my sister, she got free

Now she's across the great gray sea

Now I've been hard, too hard to find

But there's no paranoia in my mind

There have been no comrades dropping dimes

It's just I'm working overtime

And I know that in the end

I'll come clean to all my friends

'Cause we all know we all have sinned

And we all know we're going to again

And when I was late in checking in

I couldn't say where I'd been

Well, I bet you knew, 'cause you sometimes do

And here we go 'round again

See, Molly always knows just what to bring

When Reb's in town, she always rings

You want to know what Tommy has to say?

Is Terry feeling better these days?

You can ask, take a look

We're all pretty open books

What I stand for, I mostly stand behind

What I am, I mostly can't hide

And when we were late in getting in

We couldn't say where we'd been

So maybe you knew, like you sometimes do

I've got need to pretend

Ah, but C.I.A.

Only you know what you've done

Oh, C.I.A.

Only you know what you've done

My father works from 6 to 8

And he ain't given up his faith

And so I haven't given up myself

Though I sure could use a little help

Now it don't take the writing of a song

To tell you what I was doing in '01

But what I fear that I might never see

Is where you were back in '73

And why Mal, he ain't around

Or if Everado was ever found

Why Frankie says that history's race is run

When we all know it's just erased by those who've won

And when I was late in weighing in

I couldn't say where I'd been

And you thought you knew like you sometimes do

But you got it wrong again

Oh, but C.I.A.

Only you know what you've done

Oh, C.I.A.

Only you know what you've done

Oh, C.I.A.

Only you know what you've done

Oh, C.I.A.

Only you know what you've done

Only you know what you've done

Only you know what you've done

Only you know what you've done

Only you know what you've done
