You`re telling me all the news
that`s fit for me to know.
You`re asking me questions
when you know
where the answers go
You`re giving me "choice":
Right or Left, on the same
two-headed snake
while you cover up my voice
like ice on a frozen lake
Don`t tell me, I know
You`ve got secrets to keep
while we sleep
you`ll find us another cold war
that`s all about dreams
we don`t know that we`re working for
I dream at night
of four color lovers
in places I`ll never be.
I`m a star being born
between magazine covers
on the ready-to-wear high sea
it`s reality-ware TV!
Don`t mind me, I know
You`ve got secrets to tell...
like Hell!
you`ll promise a dream of relief,
of fame and wonder, but deliver
another
long hard road to grief
{Distorted rap:}
Don`t tell me you`ve got secrets to tell
you`re livin` in sin while we`re livin` in hell
fire in the kitchen is the secret you smell
in your fief, Thief!
We need relief, not this long hard road through a life of grief
Don`t leave me, I`ll go
we`ve got secrets to keep
and we`ll sleep
and dream up another Cold War
about time,
and saving and taking
our ease
and all of the beautiful, fabulous things
we spend our lives
settling for
