Undercover Lover

from Rubedo by Don Paris Schlotman

lyrics

You won’t see me leavin
At quarter after nine
I’ve got to keep on movin
And walk a careful line
If I gave you my real name
Then you might drop the dime
I’ve worked on this persona
For quite the longest time
You think you really know me
But you haven’t got a clue
Now here’s a little hint
Nothing that I say is true
You think you’re pretty clever
You must think you’re pretty smart
If you know what’s good for you
You won’t dig into my art
Someday I’ll be your true lover
But tonight I’m undercover

I know I’m looking rough
Cause I’m feeling that way too
You would look the same
After a minute in my shoes
Don’t look behind the mirror
Don’t peek above the wall
Don’t rifle through my pockets
Or go creepin down my hall
Cause I’ve laid out my traps
Put the bait out on a string
Looking for the perfect score
Tryin for that sting
I know you think you’re clever
But you don’t know the scam
So please don’t try to figure out
Just who I really am
Someday I’ll be your one true lover
But tonight I’m undercover


I’m sneakin round the backyard
I jump over the fence
You won’t see me coming
So please don’t take offence
Watch out for the neighbors
Gotta watch out for your dog
Cause I’m in pretty deep
Been in this way too long
Today another face
Tomorrow a new name
Every day I’m different
But my targets are the same
Pushers, skeeves and scum bags
With all the same old lies
They say they never do this
But I can see it in their eyes
Someday I’ll be your one true lover
But tonight I’m undercover
