Mountain Duet

This is the one situation I wanted most to avoid

Nothing I say will convince him this isn't a trick.

A drink on a clear moonlit night, I relax, she smiles

There's something unpleasant going on

So with immaculate timing, I'm left to carry the can

Embarrassed, outnumbered, marooned

Now she can't be working for them, I mean us

She seems so very straightforward but where is he?

He has to come back, he wanted this meeting, well, didn't he?

Maybe he's scared, just as scared as he was in the game

Oh, I just couldn't care less

He can go right ahead, go and wreck his career

I know I've done my best

Well, at least she's a good looking spy

What if my Russian friend thinks that my plans

Are more of an intimate kind?

If I don't say something and soon

He'll go nobody's on nobody's side

Listen, I hate to break up the mood

Get to the point, begin the begin

Haven't you noticed we're a protagonist short

In this idyllic, well produced scene?

All I can say is moments ago

He was right here ready and waiting

Never mind him, I haven't missed him so far

Maybe it won't do any harm

To struggle on without his charm?

Funny how all at once I feel

That he can go jump off the mountain I won't care

This is the one situation I wanted most to avoid

My dear opponent, I really can't imagine why

So I am not dangerous then? What a shame

Oh, you're not dangerous, who could think that of you?

You, you are so strange

Why can't you be what you ought to be?

You should be scheming

Intriguing, too clever by half

I have to hand it to you for you've managed

To make me forget why I ever agreed to this farce

I don't know why I can't think of anything I would rather do

Than be wasting my time on mountains with you
