Our Man

10 OUR MAN
music &words:A. Petrov and T. Kalinina — Anna Alerstedt
One familiar face, chatting merrily
With some people, they’re of no importance
But I think you’llfind it interesting to find her here
Have another drink, mingle with the crowd
Work your way across the room
Until you’re almost close enough to finally expose her fear
Startled for a while, looking up at you
Then she gives a blinding smile
That somehow strikes you harder than a fist or bullet ever could
So the game is on, counter with a laugh
Ask her ifshe’d possibly consider having but a single dance
With someone obviously harmless and endearing and as humble as yourself
It is something of a mystery
How you have found your place in history
Total obscurity in plain view
And nobody knows it Keep your senses sharp, never hesitate
Trusting is a luxury you can’t afford
And if you faulter it might be the end of you
Never get to close, cover up your tracks
Time is of the essence, you don’t have to be reminded
Of the people who depend on you
Muster up a smile, tell a little joke
Make up some distraction when the time is right
And when you see an opening you make your move
Slipping through the crowd, nice and easy now
Careful not to draw any attention to yourself or what you doing
And though luck is helpful it’s your skill that always gets the job done in the
end
It is something of a mystery
How you have found your place in history
Total obscurity in plain view
And nobody knows it
