Alongside all hearts
As they finish with backdrop cities;
As jagged teeth are digging deeper
Ripping new wounds for former scars;
Stricken with insomnia
Sickened lungs insist on heavy breathing

And the conductor is conducting
Electrical time signatures,
And I fall into rhythm
My life is a rhythm
And my feet will improvise;
(my feet off beat, my feet off beat)
As I sputter at the knee like a leaking faucet

You'll be undercover,
Under covers sleeping with the enemy
This is what we like to call internal espionage
(Concrete-coated gazes in hot pursuit of mouth-made mazes
Talking circles around each other deserting halos to be
Handcuffed and hogtied with your words)

On the search for girls (stricken with insomnia)
With milk-carton father figures,
My veins are pulsing (free form jazz)
To peninsula extremities
My fingertips t-t-t-tap-tap polyrythms
Like nervous fragments from a nervous mouth,
And these words set the cadence
(these words set the cadence)
To the crude interpretation of scripts and codes
Bleeding pixels without homes-
Reside in my mind; resonate in my eyes

You'll be undercover,
Under covers sleeping with the enemy
This is what we like to call internal espionage
(Concrete-coated gazes in hot pursuit of mouth-made mazes
Talking circles around each other deserting halos to be
Handcuffed and hogtied with your words)

So affect this love affliction
Leave the injured overturned
Fight for breath with flailing arms
In vain, to float the bane

Tentative tastes for those less interesting
Leave the injured overturned
Fight for breath with the flailing arms
In vain, to float the bane

You'll be undercover,
Under covers sleeping with the enemy
This is what we like to call internal espionage
(Concrete-coated gazes in hot pursuit of mouth-made mazes
Talking circles around each other deserting halos to be
Handcuffed and hogtied with your words)
