Appearances

Overview

Notable about this song is that it seamlessly transition from the last track, "Utsukushii Shibuya". There is a version of this song with an intro that was not on the final album, but was on Punk Rock Is Your Friend (Kung Fu Records Sampler #4). It is theorized that this intro was meant to be a more elaborate transition than that which is already on the album. This theory is corroborated by the transition being present on the Spending Time on the Borderline promo CD.

Lyrics

A turtleneck, will cover that up (Cover up)
So sweat it out, and keep your mouth shut
FBI (Cover it up), CIA (Cover it up)
JPL (Cover it up), CNN (Cover it up)
Turtleneck (Oh, cover it up)

Hope that they're not wondering
Why I'm never laundering

My turtleneck covers me don't let anybody see
Everything I've come to be since she had her way with me
Turtleneck cover me don't let anybody see
From the shadows in the streets, hidden eyes are watching me

Even the wolf, wears a disguise
So pull the wool, down over your eyes
KGB (Cover it up), LBC (Wrap the f#&k up)
MTV (Cover it up), FCC (Cover it up)
Turtleneck (Oh, cover it up)

Hope that mom's not wondering
Why I'm never laundering

My turtleneck covers me don't let anybody see
Everything I've come to be since she had her way with me
Turtleneck cover me don't let anybody see
From the shadows in the streets, hidden eyes are watching me

Video cameras in the trees, documenting all they please
Sometimes I wish I could rewind
Video cameras in the trees, catch her when she comes and leaves
Sometimes I wish I could rewind
I only wish I could rewind
I only wish I could rewind

Turtleneck cover me don't let anybody see
Everything I've come to be since she had her way with me
