Secrets And Lies Lyrics

Secrets And Lies

every twenty seconds someone's pounding someone down

every thirty more a
liar's born

every half an hour I get up and look around

and once or
twice a day I ask for more 



On a really good day there's something
in the mail

once a week I get a treat

other times a month goes
by

but still I never miss a beat 



Get it on the table, pass
the gravy pass the buck

get it on the table, secrets and lies,

silence, faith and luck 



Once a year the holidays come swinging
at your head

feast until you're full of pain again

It tightens in
your chest and now it's written on your face

you're staring at your lover
or your friend 



Get it on the table, pass the gravy pass the
buck

get it on the table, secrets and lies,

silence, faith and luck




cuz it's hand to mouth, door to door, cradle to the grave

asking for more, asking for more,

cuz it's hand to mouth, door to
door, cradle to the grave

asking for more, asking for more, I'm asking
for more 



Maybe if you're lucky you will have your sunny day

once a lifetime maybe twice

But even when you're dying you're still
hungry for the choice

was chance the only certainty in life? 



Get it on the table, pass the gravy pass the buck

get it on the table,
secrets and lies,

silence, faith and luck

Get it on the table, pass
the gravy pass the buck

get it on the table, secrets and lies,

silence, faith and luck
