Cloaks & Daggers

It's a mystery, she said
The difference in what you said and what you mean
I'll keep it to myself
Step aside and leave for something bigger

Cloaks and daggers
In the shadows
Things go bump in the night, but no one's telling
It's never clear
And it's always best if no one seems to know
Nothing's sure
I need you on my side so keep your head
You know it's just cloaks and daggers
You better watch your step

Keep it under wraps, she said
Just a slip in time can give it all away
We speak in tongues
A secret code so no one else will know

Cloaks and daggers
In the twilight
Ships that pass in the night where no one's looking
It's never clear
And it's always best if no one seems to know
Nothing's true
I need you on my side so keep your head
You know it's just cloaks and daggers
You better watch your step

It's all hide and seek, she said
Just a game of slight of hand and misdirection
You never kiss and tell
You keep it close to the vest and to yourself

Cloaks and daggers
In the darkness
Things go bump in the night, but no one's telling
It's never clear
And it's easier if no one seems to care
Nothing's pure
I need you on my side so keep your head
You know it's all cloaks and daggers
You better watch your back
