lyrics

Under cover of dark
Flanked by two silent men
I walked from the jail
Guards averted their eyes
Gates were strangely unlocked
I breathed cold midnight air

What I do
They will pay for
What I know
They will pay for
Their scheme is nothing without me

We climbed into the car
Behind dark tinted glass
Left the jail far behind
Passed through run-down estates
Disused factory lots
A land in decline

What I do
They will pay for...

They said, "what do you need?"
I said "sixty-four cores
And a book by John Dee"
I was hid in plain sight
In a run-down estate
A tenement block all for me

What I do
They will pay for...

At the start we were three
Me, Frank, Marie
Our ambitions immense
New world, new sense
New perceptions, new tools
Rewrite the rules
But I was in jail
Frank's in the ground
Nobody knows
How Marie may be found

Their ambitions were small
Earthly riches and power
Easy for me to supply
I did what they asked
Left them nothing of worth
Stepped aside into the sky

What I do
They have paid for
What I know
They have paid for
Their scheme was nothing without me

Now I'm free, I have means
Won't go back to the jail
No more tenement block
I search for Marie
I can sense she's quite near
We'll pick up where we left off

What I want
They have paid for
What I'll do
They have paid for
Their scheme was nicely timed for me
And now I'm searching for Marie
And now I'm searching for Marie
