Fingerprint File by The Rolling Stones Lyrics

Genre: rock | Year: 1974

[Verse 1]
Fingerprint file, you get me down
You keep me running, know my way around
(Yes, you do, child)

[Verse 2]
Fingerprint file, you bring me down
Keep me running, you keep me on the ground
Know my moves way ahead of time
Listening to me on your satellite

[Verse 3]
Feeling followed, feeling tagged
Crossing water, trying to wipe my tracks

[Chorus]
And there's some little jerk in the FBI
A keeping papers on me six feet high
It gets me down
It gets me down
It gets me down
[Verse 4]
You better watch out on your telephone
Wrong number, they know you ain’t home

[Chorus]
And there's some little jerk in the FBI
A keeping papers on me six feet high
It gets me down
It gets me down
It gets me down

[Interlude]
Who's the man on the corner?
That corner
I don't know
Well, you better lay low
Watch out

[Verse 5]
Keep on the look out, electric eyes
Rats on the sell-out who going to testify
You know my habits way ahead of time
Listening to me on your satellite

[Chorus]
And there's some little jerk in the FBI
A keeping papers on me six feet high
It gets me down
It gets me down
It gets me down
It gets me down
[Outro]
Hello, baby, mm-hmm
Ah, yeah, you know we ain’t, we ain’t talking alone
Who's listening? But I don't really know
But you better tell the SIS to keep out of sight
Because I know they taking pictures on the ultraviolet light
Yes, uh-huh, yeah, but these days it's all secrecy - no privacy
Shoot first, that's right, you know
Bye-bye
Who's listening?
Right now somebody is listening to you
Keeping their eyes peeled on you
Mmm, mmm, what a price, what a price to pay
All right
Good night, sleep tight
