They Might Be Giants I Am Alone Lyrics

[Intro]
Thank you for going back in time
And thwarting my assassin
And while we're laughing about it
I know you didn't really do that
This was a test and you failed

[Verse 1]
Before you fire I should inform you
One of us is a double
I took the trouble to swap ties
Somebody taps you on the shoulder
You don't know who is your friend
[Pre-Chorus]
Let's just all take a deep breath and slowly
Lower our weapons to the floor

[Chorus]
I am alone
In the three-part folding mirror on the bathroom door
I am alone
In the three-part folding mirror on the bathroom door

[Verse 2] Everyone take off your disguises
I see you and your brother
Dressed as each other this time
So now it appears the double-crossers
Have been too clever by half

[Bridge]
The fox has been
Outfoxed again
The row of smug expressions
All arrayed around are wiped away, so

[Pre-Chorus]
Let's all just take a deep breath and slowly
Lower our weapons to the floor
[Chorus]
I am alone
In the three-part folding mirror on the bathroom door
I am alone
In the three-part folding mirror on the bathroom door
I'm by myself
In the three-part folding mirror on the bathroom door
