Secrets and Lies

[Verse 1]
Every twenty seconds someone's pounding someone down
Every thirty more a liar's born
Every half an hour I get up and look around
And once or twice a day I ask for more

[Verse 2]
On a really good day there's something in the mail
Once a week I get a treat
Other times a month goes by
But still I never miss a beat

[Chorus]
Get it on the table
Pass the gravy, pass the buck
Get it on the table, secrets and lies
Silence, faith and luck

[Verse 3]
Once a year the holidays come swinging at your head
Feast until you're full of pain again
It tightens in your chest and now it's written on your face
You're staring at your lover or your friend

[Chorus]
Get it on the table
Pass the gravy, pass the buck
Get it on the table, secrets and lies
Silence, faith and luck

[Bridge]
'Cause it's hand to mouth, door to door, cradle to the grave
Asking for more, asking for more
'Cause it's hand to mouth (Never get what's coming to me)
Door to door (Never get what I deserve)
Cradle to the grave (Never get what's coming to me)
Asking for more (Never get what I deserve)
Asking for more, I'm asking for more

[Verse 4]
Maybe if you're lucky you will have your sunny day
Once a lifetime, maybe twice
But even when you're dying you're still hungry for the choice
Was chance the only certainty in life?

[Chorus]
Get it on the table
Pass the gravy, pass the buck
Get it on the table, secrets and lies
Silence, faith and luck (Silence, faith and luck)
Get it on the table
Pass the gravy, pass the buck
Get it on the table, secrets and lies
Silence, faith and luck
