Though we both feel it, we can't speak it
So we just leave it our little secret
Once was a whisper in the streets
It runs like a river, our little secret
Floats as it flows to the open ocean
Words getting stirred up like a witch's potion
Watch as we watch history repeated
Acting surprised it survives
Our little secret
Home, 'fraid to write it, 'fraid to read it
Don't get excited, our little secret
Man, no one checked out, no one cheated
Then how's it wrecked now, our little secret
Gone, we cry auntie, we we cry uncle
Egged on, it echoes, all around the jungle
Wet while we wept as the troops retreated
Acting distraught that they lost
Our little secret
My infidel, why not kiss and tell
If nobody's listenin' to a single thing you say
What's the big deal of the big reveal
If everyone near here's looking away
Come, who else lived it, who could leak it
One one-way ticket, our little secret
You're in my heart, kid, you'll never leave it
'Course, but fear not, it's our little secret
And if some grandchildren lucky guess it
Sir, I'll be first to never confess it
Pissed that the past has to go untreated
Safe til the radio plays
Our little secret
