Shadows (Spy vs Spy)

Let's start it off, no need to validate
Who shot first, the cycle retaliates
Mood got worse, plotting and scheming
An informal war that's so below freezing
Ruthless, utmost treachery, defeat
Nuisance, cutthroat, enemy, deceit
Maybe you'd tell me: Who'd want to challenge this?
Just two characters, no protagonist
Espionage, emergency sirens
Strike from behind a curtain of iron
New opportunities to prove our immunity
Sit so well with the Intel Community
Tit for tat all across the board
White moves, black moves, back and forth
Traps so clever, my oh my
Seeking revenge, why ask why, Spy vs Spy

Got a bomb in the dresser, hole in the floor
A bucket of acid perched above the door (Heads up!)
Unscrew lightbulbs, prepare for a flash
Strike a match in a room full of natural gas
Defuse the C-4, reroute the wires
Dropped the extinguisher, still caught fire
Drained all the water, pipes full of Clorox
Plus a live wire hooked up to the doorknob
Flip that switch, here comes the truth
Man you better not even step in that booth
Biological, these guys are survivors
Unleash an aerosol of hand sanitizer (Fresh!)
Tracking the newest stats, laughing when you react
Move them back, crash and collapse in a booby trap (Heh heh booby)
Just know it's coming, venture a guess
Plenty possibilities no telling what's next, Spy vs Spy

The actuator's sensor is ready to fire
The sensor's connected to a segment of wire
The wire's attached to the clock
That's attached to the key, every tick it turns to unlock
Every tock sends current to help the blast resonate
Open the package, whole thing detonates
Lots of contraptions, put them on ice (I get it)
With the price of a Rube Goldberg device
A few keepsakes that I need to keep safe
Goal of the mission: Transport the briefcase
I spy the other guy try to dismantle
Plan to get cancelled, handcuff the handle
Classified info, secret documents
High profiles on targeted monuments
Negative, positive, the yin and the yang
Trust we get it started with the biggest of bangs, Spy vs Spy
