Don’t tell the director I said so 
But are you safe Miss Gradenko? 
We were at a policy meeting 
They were planning new ways of cheating 
I didn’t want to rock your boat 
But you sent this dangerous note 
You’ve been letting your feelings show 

Are you safe Miss Gradenko? 
Miss Gradenko are you safe? 
Are you safe Miss Gradenko? 
Miss Gradenko are you safe? 
Is anybody alive in here? 
Is anybody alive in here? 
Is anybody at all in here? 
Nobody but us in here 
Nobody but us 
Is anybody alive in here? 
Nobody but us 

Your uniform don’t seem to fit 
You’re much too alive in it 
You’ve been letting your feelings show 

Are you safe Miss Gradenko? 
Miss Gradenko are you safe? 
Are you safe Miss Gradenko? 
Miss Gradenko are you safe? 
Is anybody alive in here? 
Is anybody alive in here? 
Is anybody at all in here? 
Nobody but us in here 
Nobody but us 
Is anybody alive in here? 
Nobody but us
