So he knows something you don't Five little secrets whispered Oh, and you had something to say But the people were our peasants So you walked away from this avalanche And left them for dead They were our messengers and this is what they said: "I don't think you're ready yet." She thinks I'm drunk but I'm not There are just so many reasons we can't get caught And the sound of the shot is the sound of her heartstrings pulling taut Oh, it's scandalous, these tales of woe These are the memories and this is how they go I don't think we're in control But it's okay 'cause no-one's going to listen to a word that you say They read your body language and think everything's okay Now the penny's dropped, the past is slain The rhythm of your pulse triggers action in your brain So even as I talk to you these memories will fade Spirited away in a slick, darn raid But I never met a man who regrets the way he felt When your eyes first met, and your heart began to melt If only your eyes replaced the fear And not the memory of the past few years And now everything's fine, only happy endings all the time And we're getting you help And everyone we know is doing well Until the curtain drops, it's all a show These are professionals and this is all they know I don't think we're in control But it's okay 'cause no-one's going to listen to a word that you say They read your body language and think everything's okay Now the penny's dropped, the past is slain The rhythm of your pulse triggers action in your brain So even as I talk to you these memories will fade Spirited away in a slick, darn raid But I never met a man who regrets the way he felt When your eyes first met, and your heart began to melt
