Lyrics
Kept Secrets
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
