Talking In Code

Talking In Code
Written by Glen Burtnik

I've been trying to think of something to say
But the words don't come
You send that neon light my way
And I can't give it back

Gotta get a grip on myself
Fighting to hold on
Lips move all by themselves
And we're

Talking in code
Way down low where we usually go
It ain't no secret but nobody knows it
Talking in code

When the red sun fades and the sirens pass
I will look for you
And the last word left is revealed
I cover one eye

Picking up shadows again
Signals from somewhere
Like scattered leaves in the wind
And we're

Talking in code
Way down low where we usually go
It ain't no secret but nobody knows it
Talking in code

Yeah

Talking in code
Way down low where we usually go
It ain't no secret but nobody knows it
Talking in code

White noise, spoiled reception
Every line is breaking down
Far away I hear explosions
Hissing wires underground

Premonitions
Shaky thoughts
Silence overpowers all the lines we bought
Now we're

Talking in code
Way down low where we usually go
It ain't no secret but nobody knows it
Talking in code

Yeah

Talking in code
Talking in, talking in code
It ain't no secret but nobody knows it
Talking in code

Yeah

Talking in code
Way down low where we usually go
It ain't no secret, it ain't no secret
Talking in code

Talking in code
Way down low where we usually go
It ain't no secret but nobody knows it
Talking in code
