Days Undercover, All out of sync
Haven't paid the rent, even talkin' in my sleep
My monkey's M.O., is all out of commission
I'm waitin' for a good old fashioned cure for my condition

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm all out of time
And I'm all out of money
Hangin' Down Incognito
Waitin' for the sun to shine

Counts to the left
Jokers to the right
Countin' on the rest of us
To come and take a bite

But I'll wait it out
Call it superstition
I'll be fine for now
Just reminiscing

[Chorus]

I just had to let it go
Took all the pennies I had
Threw 'em in the wishing well
And I wish you well

Days Undercover, All out of sync
Haven't paid the rent, even talkin' in my sleep
My monkey's M.O., is all out of commission
I'm waitin' for a good old fashioned cure for my condition

[Chorus]

Me and my amigos, Down Incognito

Winger is an American hard rock band formed in New York City that gained popularity during the late 1980s and early 1990s. The band's two platinum albums, Winger and In the Heart of the Young, along with charting singles "Seventeen", "Headed for a Heartbreak" and "Miles Away", put the band on the top of the charts by the early 1990s. In 1990, the band was nominated for an American Music Award for "Best New Heavy Metal Band". As the music scene changed in the early to mid-1990s due to the popularity of grunge, the band faded after their third release Pull. more »
