About Down Incognito

For the song by Winger, see Down Incognito (song). Down Incognito was the second solo album by American rock artist Kip Winger. It was released by Domo Records in 1999. The album was released under different names. Down Incognito is the American title, while it was called Made by Hand in Europe, and Another Way in Japan. The album mostly consists of acoustic studio versions of songs from the three Winger albums and Kip Winger's first solo album. The exceptions are album opener "Another Way", which is a new song for this recording, and the two last songs, "Rainbow in the Rose" and "Blind Revolution Mad", which are acoustic live versions from a show in Paris. According to Kip, he came up with the acoustic arrangements for these songs during his tour of Borders bookstores, when he needed to learn to play the many Winger hits on an acoustic 12-string guitar.

Days Undercover, All out of sync
Haven't paid the rent, even talkin' in my sleep
My monkey's M.O., is all out of commission
I'm waitin' for a good old fashioned cure for my condition

Cause I'm all out of time
And I'm all out of money
Hangin' Down Incognito
Waitin' for the sun to shine

Counts to the left
Jokers to the right
Countin' on the rest of us
To come and take a bite

But I'll wait it out
Call it superstition
I'll be fine for now
Just reminiscing

Cause I'm all out of time
And I'm all out of money
Hangin' Down Incognito
Waitin' for the sun to shine

I just had to let it go
Took all the pennies I had
Threw 'em in the wishing well
And I wish you well

Days Undercover, All out of sync
Haven't paid the rent, even talkin' in my sleep
My monkey's M.O., is all out of commission
I'm waitin' for a good old fashioned cure for my condition

Cause I'm all out of time
And I'm all out of money
Hangin' Down Incognito
Waitin' for the sun to shine

Cause I'm all out of time
And I'm all out of money
Hangin' Down Incognito
Waitin' for the sun to shine

Me and my amigos, Down Incognito
