Randy Stonehill Album: The Lazarus Heart Track: Under The Rug
Under The Rug Lyrics
Randy 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
