Under The Rug
|
R. Stonehill, D. Perkins, & T. Taylor
|
|
I have a secret I can't tell
|
And I've learned to conceal it well
|
Ah but this disturbing smell
|
Keeps coming from the carpet
|
|
That's where the old ghosts hide away
|
Down in the darkness and decay
|
I work so hard to make them stay
|
Down beneath the floorboards
|
|
Oh I needed the perfect plan
|
But it's all gotten out of hand
|
Keep my head in the sand now
|
It's so scary under the rug
|
|
Bury your sins and they won't survive
|
I told myself 'till the big surprise
|
Down in the dirt is where they thrive
|
Like little poison toadstools
|
Under the rug
|
|
It's the thing in Pandora's box
|
Biting through all the chains and locks
|
Now the whole house is rocking
|
It's so scary under the rug
|
It's so hairy under the rug
|
|
Skeleton's dance and I fear they might
|
Rattle their bones in the broad daylight
|
So I wear a poker face
|
Close all the curtains just in case
|
But something lurks in the crawling space
|
Pointing bony fingers
|
|
I hear the ticking of my telltale heart
|
Like a bomb set to blow my world apart
|
I wish that guilt would make us smart
|
But I'm sweeping all this garbage
|
|
I have a secret I can't tell
|
And I've learned to conceal it well
|
Under the rug
