Secrets and Lies

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] Get it on the table Pass the gravy, pass the buck Get it on the table, secrets and lies Silence, faith and luck [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] Get it on the table Pass the gravy, pass the buck Get it on the table, secrets and lies Silence, faith and luck [Bridge] 'Cause it's hand to mouth, door to door, cradle to the grave Asking for more, asking for more 'Cause it's hand to mouth (Never get what's coming to me) Door to door (Never get what I deserve) Cradle to the grave (Never get what's coming to me) Asking for more (Never get what I deserve) Asking for more, I'm asking for more [Verse 4] 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? [Chorus] Get it on the table Pass the gravy, pass the buck Get it on the table, secrets and lies Silence, faith and luck (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
