Dirty Little Secret

from Once In A Blue Mood​.​.​. by Chris Nelson

/

about

It seems like all these people who profess to be clean, holy, righteous, etc. turn out to be scumbags in the end.

lyrics

Deep inside the corridors of your mind
Is where you keep it all locked up inside

Never let it see the light of day
Knowing you have something there to hide

Pressure’s on, holding back the tide
To keep the dam from bursting open wide

You can’t let a thing like that in the public eye
Imagine what will happen to your name!
No matter how you try to hide your dirty little secret
I can see it coming out again

Lie to me and everyone you see
Never let us know just who you are

Try to be something that you’re not
Push the fantasy way too far

Something changed, does anybody see
The monster you’ve got hidden in a jar?
 
Rectify the situation that you’ve made
Although the victims suffer out of view

Destiny will render what will be
There’s nothing more powerful than truth

You can try to sweep it under a rug
Some day your victims will all tell on you

You can’t let a thing like that in the public eye
Imagine what will happen to your name!
No matter how you try to hide your dirty little secret
I can see it coming out again
