86 Pages of Secrets

I hear sirens on the air tonight, but i could be making it up

But the neighborhood dogs,

They seem to agree

If i am a spider bite the size of a dixie cup

The source of my poison is no mystery

Hey, you there, walking beside me

How’d you get out of my childhood diary

Thought i locked it up tight

Thought i locked you up tight

86 pages of secrets

Beauty babe keep it

All out of sight

86 pages for pete’s sake

Could there be so much heartache

In one little life

So, you struck while the iron was drunk, found your hit and followed it up

Made your ways through the greenrooms & bars of history

If this joke is on the inside, it ’s ‘cause you chewed it & swallowed it up

Made your notch on the bedpost,

Signed it so sincerely

Each word that you throw like a dagger

It barkens my bite & it swaggens my swagger

It fightens my fight,

& it rightens my right
