Blue Agent Lyrics
When your range is off
When you call back complete.
Your finished task was a burden
I'll give you that conceit.
If you wear a mask,
If you wear a badge,
If you're lost in the curtains of time,
you'll be erased.
Sleep tight, golden night
protect my brain.
I was bright, I was right
all the time.
If you ever need to talk
I won't be around.
If you ever need to fight for life
I will make no sound.
I completed your task
it was much too tough.
Your burdens now were twice removed
it must be rough.
I use my golden light to find a way
Your bones they were always, they were always in my way.
The fire finds a way to completely erase.
I followed you out -
you threw up and you complained.
And I bide my time, and I hide my glory away
in the basement room where you used to kneel and pray.
If you need a friend now
Better look some place else.
You burned this bridge long ago,
Here's to your health
I'm a blue light, I'm a crippled coward,
shining out in the night.
The sky is clearer now that I'm filled with fright.
When you call back complete.
Your finished task was a burden
I'll give you that conceit.
If you wear a badge,
If you're lost in the curtains of time,
you'll be erased.
protect my brain.
I was bright, I was right
all the time.
I won't be around.
If you ever need to fight for life
I will make no sound.
it was much too tough.
Your burdens now were twice removed

And I bide my time, and I hide my glory away

I could definitely use some help w/ this one...
The song is about a secret agent. The golden light is the flame referenced throughout the song. He likens himself to the blue part at the base flames, the hottest part, stating "I was bright, I was right on the flame," hence the Blue Agent.
I think the rest is pretty self-explanatory with that in mind.
They seemed to always take some influence from the Pixies (I know they are friends with Kim Deal) but all the chord motion & guitar tones in this song makes it seem like a really conscious Pixies tribute.
