about

A darkwave synth pop espionage thriller about the clandestine lives my wife and I lead as international double agents (Shhh!) and the secret code of commitment held by covert operatives in love. Accompanied by a montage of action movie audio samples.

The idiom "I got your six" is used in military and law enforcement professions and in basically any movie that's awesome to convey that you have the person's back, where the reference to "six" comes from a convention that originated among pilots to refer to the 360 degrees around you according to their positions on a clock, so that 12 o'clock is directly in front of you, 3 o'clock is directly to your right, and 6 o'clock is behind you.

lyrics

[they are the world's most deadly assassins]
[your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to get the document and bring anna kurkoska to safety]
[people listen up, this is a national security emergency, we have an imminent threat]

hands tied behind the chair
they ask me where's your wife
what you talking 'bout, i've never seen
that woman in my life

meanwhile they don't hear the footsteps
and the lights go black
that's just how my baby goes about
gettin' her man back

i got your six
[now pay attention double-o seven]
it's part of the contract
i got your six
[welcome to the program]
and you got me back
i got your six
[we have to assume that there's no one we can trust]
it's part of the contract
i got your six
[there is one man]
and you got me back

[block all the exits, give the asset a green light. take them both out]

[covering fire!!!]

we come in heavy
and i cover you as we're going in
grab the documents
take out a couple badguys for the win

there's all sorts of suspicions
that this job can arouse
but keeping cover under pressure
was written in our vows

i got your six
[bond, james bond]
it's part of the contract
i got your six
[jack, i know this isn't protocol]
and you got me back
i got your six
[you just killed a helicopter with a car]
it's part of the contract
i got your six
[i was out of bullets]
and you got me back

[once the damage is done, you're not gonna be able to cut a deal, give me the kill code now]
[we don't take care of this, we will both burn]

clinging to the ledge
you got a badguy on your leg
take my hand and let's see if
we can take him down a peg

boost you over the fence
and we make our getaway
we said till death do us part
but that will be some other day

i got your six
[buckle up]
it's part of the contract
i got your six
[shaken, not stirred]
and you got me back
i got your six
[come with me if you want to live]
it's part of the contract
i got your six
[this is not a drill, soldier]
and you got me back
[launch countermeasures]

it's a pleasure dodging bullets with you
[you really think you have a chance against us, mister cowboy?]
it's a pleasure dodging bullets with you
[yippie ki-yay, motherfucker]
it's a pleasure dodging bullets with you
[mister president, it's been an honor]
it's a pleasure dodging bullets with you

[he's making his first mistake. they don't make mistakes]

[you're a disease]
[it's not a tumor!]
[and i'm the cure]
[it's not a tumor... at all!]

[now i want you to choose your next words very carefully]
[i will look for you. . . i will find you. . . and i will kill you]

we find a private plane
slide in under the wing
baby's takin' the cockpit
do you know how to fly this thing?

i got your six
[you know how to use these things?]
it's part of the contract
i got your six
[no idea whatsoever]
and you got me back
i got your six
[hasta la vista, baby]
it's part of the contract
i got your six
[missed it by that much]
and you got me back
i got your six
[you're very impressed with yourself, aren't you?]
it's part of the contract
i got your six
[i have my moments]
and you got me back
i got your six
[you still alive, baby? unnnhhh]
it's part of the contract
i got your six
[i'll be back]
and you got me back

[this is a code ten abort. i want everyone back in the vehicles, this is a code ten abort]
[what was that? it's the finale]
[as always, should you or any member of your IM force be caught or killed, the secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions. this tape will self-destruct in five seconds]

[i request the cone of silence]
