Coming Out in Code - Chuck Prophet

A tattoo of a matador

That’s my family crest

Like a bull in a china shop

My heart beats in my chest

Suzy had a yellow hat

Her hair tied in a bun

So many things I could have said to her

So much I could have done

Have you seen that yellow hat

Does anybody know?

I’m speaking to you from the heart

But it’s coming out in code

I wandered through this wicked world

Looking for my twin

It might be him, it might be her

I guess I’ll find out in the end

Once I had a brother

I lost him to the street

We’d dress up like two astronauts

Every time we’d trick or treat

Have you seen that candy man

Does anybody know?

I’m speaking to you from the heart

But it’s coming out in code

A rainbow on a hillside

A painting in a frame

I knew a painter with a hot plate once

She rode me like a train

You can say that I’m well-traveled

I’m a pauper, I’m a king

They call me Willie Wonka boys

You tell me what it means

Have you seen my candy man

Does anybody know?

I’m speaking to you from the heart

But it’s coming out in code

I’m speaking to you from the heart

But it’s coming out in code
