Your Secret’s Safe with Me

You lay down with the dogs

You cherish the fleas

You can’t rinse the taste from your mouth

You can’t pull the scabs off of your knees

When they offered you the cure

You chose the disease

Your secrets safe with me

Your secrets safe with me

How can I forget?

I’m forever in your debt

You say it pulls you close

Yeah it keeps you warm

You spent a fortune on guitars

And put them all in your arm

You bummed a lift into town

With lights and an alarm

Your secrets safe with me

Your secrets safe with me

How can I forget?

I’m forever in your debt

It’s no secret

It whispers your name

It throws you around

It gives you a taste of Heaven

Then it rides you into the ground

There’ a worm in the apple

There’s a snake in the tree

There’s a black cloud hanging

Where your halo used to be

Your secrets safe with me

Your secrets safe with me

How can I forget?

I’m forever in your debt
