What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Peering underneath the hedge
2
At my walkie-talkie on the ledge
3
Of the open kitchen window frame
4
Of the trusting Mrs. Paine
5
She's taken Russians in
6
A wife and two small kids
7
Marina, Rachel, June
8
Their smirking daddy when there's room
9
And now I'm off to history
10
And I got a front row seat
11
My Secret Spy Decoder Ring
12
Says, "Junior, follow me.
13
Fate is filing up her plate,
14
The paper route can wait."
15
I let the dailies stack un-thrown
16
This mystery's bigger than what's known
17
The petty events of this world
18
Yellow on the drive
19
Until Thursday night at five
20
When "O.H. Lee" arrives
21
I sneak out in camouflage
22
And that night in the garage
23
A naked bulb illuminates
24
Sifting through the broken crates
25
Butcher paper in his teeth
26
The mousy ex-marine
27
Lifts from a blanket roll
28
A rifle with a scope
29
I caught my breath
30
As he clumsily drew the bolt action back
31
He was staring down the barrel right at me
32
Right at me!
33
Chased across the road
34
I burst into the kitchen of the cop next door
35
But he hardly looked up from his whisky neat, I shouted, "Come and see!"
36
Break
37
The cop said, "What's that thing?
38
Is that a Secret Spy Decoder Ring?
39
Are those x-ray glasses hanging from your ears? Don't you fear.
40
Your imagination's wild
41
I got a motorcade to ride in, in just a few hours
42
You remind me of my daughter, God bless her soul
43
Now, get on home"¦"
44
The cop got on his motorbike
45
Waved to the gunman at first light
46
Walking out of Mrs. Paine's front door
47
Package underneath his arm
48
"What you bringin' to work' Lee?"
49
"Curtain rods," he said and winked at me
50
The morning paper hit the drive
51
"TODAY THE PRESIDENT ARRIVES"
52
Now, I'm off to misery
53
A kid not to be believed
54
My secret spy decoder ring
55
Is wryly mocking me:
56
"You could save his life
57
If you were old enough to drive"¦
58
If you were old enough to drive"¦
59
If you were old enough to drive"¦"
60
If I was old enough to drive"¦
