Through the fog, he's there again Cloaked in violence and defences Through the mist, she's there again Spitting poison at all her men It's all out there in black and white Lurking danger just out of sight Running for security Was it you? was it me? It's dark in here, it waits for me There's no escape, no breaking free It's cold in there, it knows my name It plays the part and rules the game It's all down there on celluloid The friends to find, the people to avoid Running for security Was it you? was it me? I see your face, the apprehension Second sight, extreme tension I see your face, the terror there The white complexion, frightened stare I know you from the silver screen The cries for help, the piercing scream Chasing off the enemy Was it you? was it me? A festival of murder and of crime Every traitor is the worst you could find A bullet in the back, a stabbing in the shower A man with motivation, too strong, too powerful It's late night viewing on tv Watched alone? with company? Chasing off the enemy Was it you? was it me? Captured on camera - shadow, a stranger Safety, the danger - menacing stranger Victim, the murder - cat-thief, the burglar Pressure, aggressor - menacing strangler The road is long, i've got to get away Trusting no-one, by night by day The wall is high, i've got to get away Too much the cost, someone's gonna pay It's all preserved on moving pictures Famous faces, double features Fighting insecurity Was it you? was it me? I've got to hide, avoiding all the traps - Don't believe in anything, don't believe the facts Stay out of sight, avoiding all the traps - Can't believe in anything, can't believe the facts It's not even safe for the murderers It's not even safe for schemers and planners When tippi hedren comes again The birds will have flown, flown away
