Secret Lyrics

Seal it in an envelope, lock it in a safe

Sink it to the ocean floor below

But time and tide will raise it up into the light of day

Did you really think no one would ever know

Dress it up in camouflage in a jungle deep

In some far-off archipelago

But wind and rain will wash it clean for all the world to see

Did you really think no one would ever know

Fly it to the southern pole, dig a wintry grave

Underneath a frozen mound of snow

But the warming sun will bring a thaw, and melt the ice away

Did you really think no one would ever know

Cloak it in a mystery, write it up in code

A puzzle that would even fool Poirot

But someone always comes along, the secret to expose

Did you really think no one would ever know

Take a vow of silence, sign an oath in blood

Keep as quiet as Marcel Marceau

But even as your lips are sealed, your thoughts still shout out loud

Did you really think no one would ever know

So, circle up the lawyers, plausibly deny

No tit for tat, no quid pro quo

But the truth you've locked inside your heart is written in your eyes

Did you really think no one would ever know
