Guest Informant

Baghdad/Space Cog/Analyst *
 You'll never guess who informed
 It was Craig and Steve
 The stool pigeons, cha-cha-cha-cha...
 Guest informant, guest informant
 Guest informant, guest informant
 I followed the colonel to the cheap hotel,
 I tapped the beds
 I wired the phones as well,
 Colonel Boggs Maroley was his mantle
 Had not counted on
 I had not counted on
 Guest Informant, guest informant
 I've been split on, I've been touted on,
 I had not counted on Guest Informant
 In the burning scorch of another Sunday over
 The miserable Scottish hotel,
 Resembled a Genesis or Marillion, 1973 LP cover
 All the hotel staff had been dismissed,
 It was me, the Hoover, and the O. A. P.s
 Asked: Could he turn killer?
 Thought: could I kill him?
 Pondered: Or is he itinerant?
 But I guess he's just a cog analyst
 Guest informant, guest informant
 Baghdad/Space Cog/Analyst.
 I could not comprehend, I could not understand
 Had not counted on, I had not counted all
 Guest informant, guest informant
 I've been split by a first-grade moron
 And I had not counted on, I had not counted on
 Guest informant, guest informant
 Guest informant, guest informant
 I've been let down, by a first-grade moron
 And I could not comprehend
 Had not counted on
 Guest informant, guest informant
