lyrics

It’s interesting to think about the secrets we keep
hidden in each person you pass on the street
Some secrets trivial, and some hidden deep
Some from our lovers, and some from our mothers
Some we share freely, and others that leak

And once a leak starts, your secret’s long gone
lost amongst rumors, rampant in the throng
‘Til your grandparents hear of the substance you’re on
Shattered reputations, forced alienation,
so be careful which ears your secrets land upon!

And then there’s that fallible matter of truth,
which all believe they alone can prove
But the truth is just relative to what you find couth
Varied definitions, depend on conditions,
so there’s never, ever a full absolute!

Yet still others think that they’re in the know,
that word’s a reliable source off which to go
So the stories get wilder, the falsehoods all grow
Still nobody questions the teller’s intentions,
and now you’re the star of a vicious freak show!
