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)
