It's no secret that the stars are falling from the sky

It's no secret that our world is in darkness tonight

They say the sun is sometimes eclipsed by the moon

Y' know I don't see you when she walks in the room

It's no secret that a friend is someone who lets you help

It's no secret that a liar won't believe anyone else

They say a secret is something you tell one other person

So I'm telling you, child

A man will beg

A man will crawl

On the sheer face of love

Like a fly on a wall

It's no secret at all

Love, we shine like a

Burning star

We're falling from

The sky

Tonight

It's no secret that a conscience can sometimes be a pest

It's no secret ambition bites the nails of success

Every artist is a cannibal, every poet is a thief

All kill their inspiration and sing about the grief

A man will rise

A man will fall

From the sheer face of love

like a fly from a wall

It's no secret at all

Love, we shine like a

Burning star

We're falling from

The sky

Tonight

Love, we shine like a burning star

We're falling from the sky tonight

A man will beg

A man will crawl

On the sheer face of love

Like a fly on a wall

It's no secret at all

Love, we shine like a

Burning star

We're falling from

The sky

Tonight

It's no secret that the stars are falling from the sky

The universe exploding 'cos-a one man's lie

Look I gotta go, yeah, I'm running outta change

There's a lot of things if I could I'd rearrange
