this secret life |
I
dreamed I was being kept alive |
To
bear the brunt of a family joke |
About
which no one spoke |
|
To
multiply and divide |
This
hideous thing, this human kind |
With
something else on his mind |
|
I
was going to bed |
You
were saying, "I do" |
Then
I lost my head |
|
CHORUS: |
When
I awoke |
I
was living this secret life |
Complete
with a secret dog |
And
a secret wife |
In
another zone |
Address
unknown |
This
secret life |
This
secret life |
|
And
I am chilled to be here |
Among
these ghosts so heaven-bent |
With
hell to pay for rent |
|
When
I am holding you near |
I'm
not so sure this world is real |
I'm
not sure how I feel |
|
And
I was going to say |
"Not
a whisper, dear" |
Then
I drifted away |
|
REPEAT
CHORUS |
|
Come
out, come out |
Wherever
you are |
You
look so near |
You
seem so far |
This
scale's messed up |
The
angle's wrong |
Your
day will come |
Meanwhile,
the night is long |
|
REPEAT
CHORUS |
