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 in hand

With phony note papers and counterfeit plans

You never will understand
