Five Little Secrets

So he knows something you don't,

Five little secrets whispered

Oh, and you had something to say

But the people were our peasants

So you walked away from this avalanche

And left them for dead.

They were our messengers and this is what they said:

"I don't think you're ready yet."

She thinks I'm drunk but I'm not,

There are just so many reasons we can't get caught

And the sound of the shot is the sound of her heartstrings pulling taut

Oh, it's scandalous, these tales of woe,

These are the memories and this is how they go.

I don't think we're in control.

But it's okay 'cause no-one's going to listen to a word that you say,

They read your body language and think everything's okay,

Now the penny's dropped, the past is slain

The rhythm of your pulse triggers action in your brain.

So even as I talk to you these memories will fade,

Spirited away in a slick, darn raid

But I never met a man who regrets the way he felt

When your eyes first met, and your heart began to melt.

If only your eyes replaced the fear,

And not the memory of the past few years.

And now everything's fine, only happy endings all the time

And we're getting you help.

And everyone we know is doing well,

Until the curtain drops, it's all a show.

These are professionals and this is all they know.

I don't think we're in control.

But it's okay 'cause no-one's going to listen to a word that you say

They read your body language and think everything's okay

Now the penny's dropped, the past is slain

The rhythm of your pulse triggers action in your brain.

So even as I talk to you these memories will fade,

Spirited away in a slick, darn raid.

But I never met a man who regrets the way he felt

When your eyes first met, and your heart began to melt.
