Loose-lipped secrets

I've seen those birdies chirping

Another promise perched on their fragile branches

Cradle and all...



We all hide a diary beneath some mattress

And someone has slept in my bed

Sometimes I get so naked I sing like a canary

And I scream out what I shouldn't scream



Some lies last a lifetime

They keep our diaries hidden

They don't let the whispers slip

Between the cracks of the bathroom stalls

Or be written on the bathroom walls....



But still I can hear those dirty birds chirp away

It's a song I know by heart

Sometimes I resent making friends and acquaintances

It's a thin veil between us --



Between the bedsprings and the mattress

I keep my secrets

The ones I can't keep

The ones you took from me

The ones you scattered with your wings



It was nice to meet you...

It was nice to meet you...

It was nice to meet you...
