The first time that he came to me, I was a young boy little did I not believe
I had a hole in my heart and I was looking for the missing piece
The next time I was privy to the dirty secrets, all the little hidden clues
And when I added it up, I knew a little, but a little won't do
Can anybody out there tell me something true?
Preferably something that no one can dispute
When everybody's spilling lifelong secrets, I'm betting safely on the man who will keep his
Despite his weakness, he'll take his secrets to the grave
I took the medicine but the pills won’t work
The pills they don’t do anything but rearrange all the littlest things
And I know a little bit but that bit won't do
The bit I know is irrelevant so the songs I sing are irrelevant too and oh
Though I know it'll never ever come to this; I have a secret and the secret is
There was a lie that I told myself 'til it became the truth
And rest assured there is a plan "B" on my mind If all the webs I weave should ever come and unwind
But if I won't, well I've plenty of time
Can anybody out there tell me something true?
Preferably something that no one can dispute
When everybody's spilling lifelong secrets, I'm betting safely on the man who will keep his
Despite his weakness, he'll take his secrets to the grave
I took the medicine but the pills won’t work
The pills they don’t do anything but rearrange all the littlest things
And I know a little bit but that bit won't do
The bit I know is irrelevant so I guess this song is irrelevant too and
We will leave this all behind
So get your fill while you're alive
And I don't know where the lies end and the truth begins
Don't listen to anyone telling you anything is a truth—it's all relative
I still believe in mysteries
And all the lies in reveries
And though they'll lay my body in the ground
I plan to never settle down
