Lyrics The Undercover Man (Live, 2005 Leverkusen) - Van Der Graaf Generator
Here
at
the
glass
-
All
the
usual
problems,
all
the
habitual
farce.
You
ask,
in
uncertain
voice,
What
you
should
do,
As
if
there
were
a
choice
but
to
carry
on
Miming
the
song
And
hope
that
it
all
works
out
right.
Tonight
it
all
seems
so
strange
-
My
spirit
feels
rigid,
my
body
deranged;
Still
that's
only
from
one
point
of
view
And
we
can't
have
illusion
between
me
and
you,
My
constant
friend,
ever
close
at
hand
-
You
and
the
undercover
man.
I
reflect:
'It's
very
strange
to
be
going
through
this
change
With
no
idea
of
what
it's
all
been
about
Except
in
the
context
of
time...'
Oh,
but
I
shirk
it,
I've
half
a
mind
not
to
work
it
all
out.
Is
this
madness
just
the
recurring
wave
of
total
emotion,
Or
a
hide
for
the
undercover
man,
Or
a
litany
- all
the
signs
are
there
of
fervent
devotion
-
Or
the
cracking
of
the
dam?
It's
cracked;
smashed
and
bursting
over
you,
There
was
no
reason
to
expect
such
disaster.
Now,
panicking,
you
burst
for
air,
Drowning,
you
know
you
care
For
nothing
and
no-one
but
yourself
And
would
deny
even
this
hand
Which
stretches
out
towards
you
to
help.
But
would
I
leave
you
in
this
moment
of
your
trial?
Is
it
my
fault
that
I'm
here
to
see
you
crying?
These
phantom
figures
all
around
you
should
have
told
you,
You
should
have
found
out
by
now,
If
you
hadn't
gone
and
tried
to
do
it
all
by
yourself.
Even
now
we
are
not
lost:
If
you
look
out
at
the
night
You'll
see
the
colours
and
the
lights
Seem
to
say
people
are
not
far
away,
At
least
in
distance,
And
it's
only
our
own
dumb
resistance
That's
making
us
stay.
When
the
madness
comes
Let
it
flood
on
down
and
over
me
sweetly,
Let
it
drown
the
parts
of
me
weak
and
blessed
and
damned,
Let
it
slake
my
life,
let
it
take
my
soul
and
living
completely,
Let
it
be
who
I
am.
There
may
not
be
time
for
us
all
to
run
in
tandem
together
-
The
horizon
calls
with
its
parallel
lines.
It
may
not
be
right
for
you
to
have
and
hold
in
one
way
forever
And
yet
you
still
have
time,
You
still
have
time.
