Liner Notes
[Intro] (tape hiss, dial-up screech, distant cooing)
Agent Coo-47, log on, 1989
Public-access channel 3, scrambled, but I'm fine

[Verse 1]
This is Agent Coo-47, beak to the wire
Every backyard sparrow is a live choir
But the melody's a cipher, the trill is a key
A five-note sequence, launch trajectory
You hear a robin? That's a ping for the silo
The blue jay's scolding is a countdown in stego
I'm perched on a satellite dish, feathers fluffed
Reading encrypted tweets from a mourning dove's huff
Coo-bop, the frequency splits the cloud
Doot-doot, the hum is a missile shroud
Chirp chirp, the finch just gave a grid coordinate
I'm a pigeon, I'm a node, I'm a public-record surrogate

[Chorus]
Coo-bop, doot-doot, chirp chirp, decode the code
Break the bird song, let the launch codes explode
Boom-bap break, the 808s stutter and load
Your backyard is a hotline, the pigeon is the node
Coo-bop, doot-doot, chirp chirp, the flock is on the grid
Every whistling tit is a classified mid
Public-access static, the signal is a lid
Agent Coo-47, the broadcast can't be rid

[Verse 2]
We interrupt this broadcast for a mandatory PSA
From the Bureau of Avian Affairs, okay?
Do not, I repeat, do not feed the ducks
Any bread that's stamped with redacted shucks
Classified crumbs, the mallards are a vector
You toss a baguette, you're a nuclear lector
The geese have a gag order, the swans are a cipher
Feeding them a croissant makes the blast radius wider
This has been a PSA, I'm legally required
To say the bread is baked with a yield that's dire

[Chorus]
Coo-bop, doot-doot, chirp chirp, decode the code
Break the bird song, let the launch codes explode
Boom-bap break, the 808s stutter and load
Your backyard is a hotline, the pigeon is the node
Coo-bop, doot-doot, chirp chirp, the flock is on the grid
Every whistling tit is a classified mid
Public-access static, the signal is a lid
Agent Coo-47, the broadcast can't be rid

[Bridge] (glitchy, reversed audio, then a clear crow caw)
And now, a contradictory disclaimer:
This message has been sanitized for your protection
(Wiretap static) The sanitizer is a crow
Caw-caw, the redaction has feathers
Your truth is a nest, I'm a nest re-arranger
Coo-bop, the affidavit is a murder of crows
Doot-doot, the paragraph screams and it shows

[Outro] (beat decays into tape wow, pigeon coos echo, a final crow caw loops)
Broadcast ends, the pigeon preens
The coordinates are in the static between the scenes
Coo-bop, doot-doot, chirp chirp, forever
Agent Coo-47, over and out, the signal's severed
(The sanitizer flies off, the bread is a dream)
