"Go Away" Lyrics:

Are we rolling? One, two, one, two, three, four

Here in my little spy movie 

With my garter and dagger

And my gag and my cuff

And my gunslinger swagger

 

You used to be my hand-painted villain

You used to be so thrilling

 

It's a switch that you're flicking      

A fuse you're always tripping

A button that you're pressing

A number that you're pushing

You're always delaying

Denying and betraying

Why don't you come back, baby?

Why don't you go away?

Go away, Go away

Why don't you go away?

Why don't you come back, baby?

Why don't you go away?

 

Budapest intrigue          

Three hours of black and white

Squinting at subtitles

Through a telescopic sight

 

Hungarian melody

Repeating endlessly

Is this the end I see?

Approaching in front of me

 

A switch that you're flicking        

A fuse you're always tripping

A button that you're pressing

A number that you're pushing

You're always delaying

Denying or betraying

Why don't you come back, baby?

Why don't you go away?

Go Away, Go Away

Why don't you go away?

Why don't you come back, baby?

Why don't you go away?

 

In this hysterical epic 

Secret passage of the palace

Powder from a hollow ring

Into the poisonous chalice

 

Unfrocked fondler

In a half moonlit gondola

Pampered hog in a ringlet wig

Gamboled a merry jig

 

You're always pursuing

But she won't need possessing

Just undoing and undressing

Please don't stop confessing

 

You're always delaying.         

Denying or betraying

Why don't you come back, baby?

Why don't you go away?

Go Away, Go Away

Why don't you go away?

Why don't you come back, baby?

Why don't you go away?

 

In my mystery caper        

As I lower my lamp

On a fey little gunsel

Who dreamed of drilling that vamp

 

I'm walking the shade

Of this silent parade

With my pepper and mace

And my heartbroken face

 

Rainy railway station

Drowns out a tearful parting

Last canister rolling

On our little melodrama

 

Is a one-horse opera

A screwball comedy

Mistaken identity

Well, who do you want to be?

 

A switch that you're flicking 

A fuse you're always tripping

A button that you're pressing

A number that you're pushing

You're always delaying

Denying or betraying

Why don't you come back, baby?

Why don't you go away?

Go Away, Go Away

Why don't you go away?

Why don't you come back, baby?

Why don't you go away?

 

Hey, hey

Why don't you

Go away

Why don't you go away?
