Lanterns and lamps
Light up the opposing camps
Night light hides the under spies
Who cross the lines with ears and eyes
Watch the tricky turncoats of
Juda, Judas spy
Juda, Judas spy
That shiny badge
Puts you on the edge
Of honesty and disguise
Look out for snake eyes
They may be watching you
Estimating your next move
And weighing what you do
The stage is set
The fox, he preys the cracking ice
It's a game of loaded dice
The stage is set to beget
Juda, Judas spy
Juda, Judas spy
That shiny badge
Puts you on the edge
Of honesty and disguise
