We're in danger so I'm told
It's the end of time and the world is old
You meet a stranger you don't want to see
Dance to the sound of his pen making history

You know that
One day and it won't be long
We'll stand in this place undercover
Licensed to be wrong
One day and it won't be long
We'll stand in this place and discover

I'm not ashamed to tell you
But you know its over
Naked as the beauty
Crying on my shoulder

It's hard to face rejection
What used to be affection
I thought it was my duty
Like I was a soldier

I'd like to pay you but my funds are thin
I'm so in love with my shirt but I'll throw it in
Why can't you understand what I am going through
It's a bad situation what can I do

You know that
One day and it won't be long
We'll stand in this place undercover
Licensed to be wrong
One day and it won't be long
We'll stand in this place and discover

I'm not ashamed to tell you
But you know its over
Naked as the beauty
Crying on my shoulder

It's hard to face rejection
What used to be affection
I thought it was my duty
Like I was a soldier

Like I was a soldier
Like I was a soldier
Like I was a soldier

(one day and it won't be long)
