Talking in Code lyrics

Why are you talking in code?
You talk so loud sometimes we don't understand
C'mon give us a sign
Wave us a flag or flash me an eye
Cos I need you tonight
I need you right now
I got sweat on my mind
But you're taking your time
Yeah kiss where it stings c'mon show me a time
But when you talk in code and you talk in signs
Wave those hands
And you flash those eyes
I don't understand when you blind me with science
You talk in code
Talking keep talkin'

Decipher me now
Describe me an arc with a low point or two
Ah cough me a code
Astonish me dear with a new point of view
Yes it's all in your hands
The Wristwatch Frisco is in action again
Ah well I like you I think
It varies so much sometimes it really depends on
If you talk in code...etc.

And then if A = B
Sometimes what you say isn't all that it seems
And if C = 3
Inscrutable view with a new slant on things
Ah semaphore girl
I love the taste of you dressed up in green
But you're talking in code
I don't understand but I won't make a scene
Cos when you....etc.
