Under the Rug

Lyrics

I have a secret I can't tell And I've learned to conceal it well Under the rug 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 Under the rug 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 Under the rug Oh, I needed the perfеct plan But it's all gotten out of hand I keep my head in the sand now It's so scary undеr the rug Bury your sins and they won't survive I told myself till the big surprise Down in the dirt, that's 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 (So scary) It's so hairy under the rug (Under the rug) It's so scary under the rug Oh, skeleton's dance and I fear they might Rattle their bones in the broad daylight Oh, yeah So, I wear a poker face I close all the curtains just in case But something lurks in the crawling space Pointing bony fingers Under the rug 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
