Spy In The House Of Night Lyrics
I, I have no church or philosophy.
I've never known or told a joke in sin.
I smoke in bed. I smoke instead.
I know the in's and out's of smoke.
And where there's smoke, there's fire, the flip side of desire.
And if it's true, it can't be you, it might as well be me.
A spy in the house of the fire; a fire in the house of the night.
A white-hot dark-black rendezvous.
I'll see you there tonight!
I'll see you there tonight!
I've never been to Spain nor to Germany.
I'll never know my way around the city of Gorky.
I've made love in halls. I fell in love in malls.
I'd love to love you in the dark.
And when it's dark, it's night, the flip side of delight.
So, if, in fact, it can't be wrong, well, then, it must be right.
A spy in the house of the fire; a fire in the house of the night.
A white-hot dark-black rendezvous.
I'll see you there tonight!
I'll see you there tonight!
And when it's dark, it's night, the flip side of delight.
So, if, in fact, it can't be wrong, well, then it must be right.
A spy in the house of the fire; a fire in the house of the night.
A white-hot dark-black rendezvous.
I'll see you there tonight!
I'll see you there tonight!
I'll see you there tonight!
I've never known or told a joke in sin.
I smoke in bed. I smoke instead.
I know the in's and out's of smoke.
And if it's true, it can't be you, it might as well be me.
A spy in the house of the fire; a fire in the house of the night.
A white-hot dark-black rendezvous.
I'll see you there tonight!
I'll see you there tonight!
I'll never know my way around the city of Gorky.
I've made love in halls. I fell in love in malls.
I'd love to love you in the dark.
So, if, in fact, it can't be wrong, well, then, it must be right.
A spy in the house of the fire; a fire in the house of the night.
A white-hot dark-black rendezvous.
I'll see you there tonight!
I'll see you there tonight!
So, if, in fact, it can't be wrong, well, then it must be right.
A spy in the house of the fire; a fire in the house of the night.
A white-hot dark-black rendezvous.
I'll see you there tonight!
I'll see you there tonight!
I'll see you there tonight!

just another great, if not unknown song from this great record from 1986.

I think the song is about someone who fits in with the crowd, but only because he fakes it. He has no real personality, nothing interesting. The lines "I have no church or philosophy. I've never known or told a joke in sin." and "I've never been to Spain nor to Germany. I'll never know my way around the city of Gorky." shows that he doesn't know stuff, he hasn't experienced stuff, he just kinda pretends. He's a "spy" because of this. He's an imposter in society. The smoke that it talks about, in my opinion, talks about a smokescreen. Smokescreens are used by the military to conceal troop/ship movements. They hide stuff, which is what he's trying to do. He hides behind smoke to hide his true, uninteresting self. I don't really know about the rest of the song. I'd assume it's about how he's in love, and finally he's admitting to his crush that he's been living a lie.
