I could close my eyes
crack the code and uncover the lies
yeah I could close my eyes

but I should shut my mouth
to keep the dirty little secrets from spilling out

she was somebody's daughter
but nothing is what it seems

I could lose my nerve
and pledge allegiance to the masters that we serve
yeah I could lose my nerve

it's 6 am in Lisbon
and there's a body on the beach
I heard it on the wire
but nothing is what it seems
it's 6 am in Lisbon and there's a body on the beach
she was somebody's daughter
but nothing is what it seems
