When you came in from the courtyard
And you passed me in the hall
I didn't know what to think
If I should think of you at all

You are different to me
Are you friend or enemy?
Are you a conspirator?
Are you a conspirator, like me?

I came into town a stranger
Helpless and confused as hell
So I wandered round and took a room
At the grand hotel

Everybody comes and goes here
Trading places endlessly
Are you a conspirator?
Are you a conspirator, like me?

Is there a mark upon your shoulder?
On your back, a small tattoo?
If you let your colour fall
I promise that I'll never bleed for two

I stood and watched the slaughter
And I've given no defence
I've stolen from the starving
I've butchered innocents

I'm supposed to meet somebody here
I've been waiting patiently
Are you a conspirator?
Are you a conspirator, like me?

Of all the terrifying mysteries
There are some that will be sung
Some will stay hidden 'til
We cannot ever claim to know

Fog is rising from the mouths of bodies
Fallen by the road
Stretching from the hour that you were born
To the hour that you must go

I only want what everybody
With a pulse that's beating needs
Are you a conspirator?
Are you a conspirator, like me?
