Secret in This Town

I am a rake - I am a wire

I am a kettle on the fire

I am a dragon - I am a wraith

You are the lady of the lake

I am an accountant - I have a wife

And I have a house in central heights

I am a baron - with a beautiful mistress

That's my castle in the distance

'Cos there's a secret in this town

And I will search until it's found

There is a reason and I can't escape it

There is a place - I like to go

With my typewriter alone

To the mystical mountains - to the source of my powers

To enquire of him who knows

'Cos some days you fell normal - not magic at all

In your four beige bedroom walls

But there's a bat in your belfry, babe

there's a ghost in your hall

there is a treasure in us all

'Cos there's a secret in this town

And I will search until it's found

There is a reason and I can't escape it

There is a ladder to the clouds

There is a highway underground

there is a doorway and it can't quite open
