Kept Secrets

Your worried mistress thinks you need

Physical exertion and vitamin D

Misunderstanding the real enemy

Sunlight and gravity

When kept secrets flow down crooked slopes

And cut a hundred riverbeds in valley floors below

Every liar knows he’ll die alone

Still you hide your hope and hedge your bets until the snow

Is white with ocean foam

Down on her hardwood bedroom floor

You pen the doctrine of preemptive war

Gladly performed for deafening applause

Then you call it sabotage

When kept secrets flow down crooked slopes

And cut a hundred riverbeds in valley floors below

Every liar knows he’ll die alone

Still you hide your hope and hedge your bets until the snow

Is white with ocean foam
