secrets and lies
Every twenty seconds someone's pounding someone down Every thirty more a liar's born Every half an hour I get up and look around And once or twice a day I ask for more  On a really good day there's something in the mail Once a week I get a treat Other times a month goes by But still I never miss a beat  Get it on the table, pass the gravy pass the buck Get it on the table, secrets and lies, Silence, faith and luck  Once a year the holidays come swinging at your head Feast until you're full of pain again It tightens in your chest and now it's written on your face You're staring at your lover or your friend  Get it on the table, pass the gravy pass the buck Get it on the table, secrets and lies, Silence, faith and luck  Cuz it's hand to mouth, door to door, cradle to the grave Asking for more, asking for more, Cuz it's hand to mouth, door to door, cradle to the grave Asking for more, asking for more, I'm asking for more  Maybe if you're lucky you will have your sunny day Once a lifetime maybe twice But even when you're dying you're still hungry for the choice Was chance the only certainty in life?  Get it on the table, pass the gravy pass the buck Get it on the table, secrets and lies, Silence, faith and luck Get it on the table, pass the gravy pass the buck Get it on the table, secrets and lies, Silence, faith and luck
