This Secret Life — текст песни (John Hiatt)

I dreamed I was being kept alive

To bear the brunt of a family joke

About which no one spoke



To multiply and divide

This hideous thing, this human kind

With something else on his mind



I was going to bed

You were saying, "i do"

Then I lost my head



Chorus:

When I awoke

I was living this secret life

Complete with a secret dog

And a secret wife

In another zone

Address unknown

This secret life

This secret life



And I am chilled to be here

Among these ghosts so heaven-bent

With hell to pay for rent



When I am holding you near

Im not so sure this world is real

Im not sure how I feel



And I was going to say

"not a whisper, dear"

Then I drifted away



Chorus



Come out, come out

Wherever you are

You look so near

You seem so far

This scales messed up

The angles wrong

Your day will come

Meanwhile, the night is long



Chorus
