Cântăre Under the rug

Under The Rug



R. 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
