In Their Words:
“This song is the result of me musing on the nature of spies. What a weird job. You’re constantly trying to keep track of what you have told people in the past. Then I thought, that’s what everyone is doing anyway. No human relationship is entirely honest. We lie to protect ourselves but we also lie to protect those we love. And we lie to ourselves to make reality bearable.” — David Olney
