	A big rock tale of cryptography gone wonderfully awry. Think: Cheap Trick beating up the Stone Roses for their lunch money, all to the strain and in the thematic vein of Squeeze's classic ode to adultery. Stolen glances, and all that.

	Story Behind the Song Recorded in half a take in our basement on a frigid winter's night. Thanks to the West Warrendale String Quartet and Bowling League for the harmonic flourishes and the clap(s). Extra special thanks to Mary at Mill Whistle for her patience and good faith. Lyrics your open-book syndrome sparked an opium war, and i'm the picture of perfect complicity watching him watching you watching me. a beautiful ransom. a handsome reward. a poor victim of this rich publicity. watching him watching you watching me. you left your pockets filled with all your guilt for him to find and have a change-of-heart attack. i'm counting miles, trying smiles on for size, half half-hoping this code starts to crack. crashed a powderkeg party lit on its own accord and chewed that cord to the quick: electricity. watching him watching you watching me. you left your pockets filled with all your guilt for him to find and have a change-of-heart attack. i'm counting miles, trying smiles on for size & half half-hoping this code starts to crack.
