Secret World Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I stood in this unsheltered place
Until I could see the face behind the face
All that had gone before had left no trace
[Chorus]
Down by the railway siding
In our secret world, we were colliding
All the places we were hiding love
What was it we were thinking of?
[Verse 2]
So I watch you wash your hair
Underwater, unaware
And the plane flies through the air
[Chorus]
Did you think you didn't have to choose it
That I alone could win or lose it
In all the places we were hiding love
What was it we were thinking of?
[Verse 3]
In this house of make believe
Divided in two, like Adam and Eve
You put out and I receive
I stood in this unsheltered place
Until I could see the face behind the face
All that had gone before had left no trace
[Chorus]
Down by the railway siding
In our secret world, we were colliding
All the places we were hiding love
What was it we were thinking of?
[Verse 2]
So I watch you wash your hair
Underwater, unaware
And the plane flies through the air
[Chorus]
Did you think you didn't have to choose it
That I alone could win or lose it
In all the places we were hiding love
What was it we were thinking of?
[Verse 3]
In this house of make believe
Divided in two, like Adam and Eve
You put out and I receive
[Chorus]
Down by the railway siding
In our secret world, we were colliding
In all the places we were hiding love
What was it we were thinking of?
[Bridge]
Oh, the wheel is turning, spinning round and round
And the house is crumbling but the stairways stand
With no guilt and no shame, no sorrow or blame
Whatever it is, we are all the same
Making it up in our secret world
Making it up in our secret world
Making it up in our secret world
Shaking it up, breaking it up
Making it up in our secret world
[Verse 4]
Seeing things that were not there
On a wing on a prayer
In this state of disrepair
[Chorus]
Down by the railway siding
In our secret world, we were colliding
In all the places we were hiding love
What was it we were thinking of?
Down by the railway siding
In our secret world, we were colliding
In all the places we were hiding love
What was it we were thinking of?
[Bridge]
Oh, the wheel is turning, spinning round and round
And the house is crumbling but the stairways stand
With no guilt and no shame, no sorrow or blame
Whatever it is, we are all the same
Making it up in our secret world
Making it up in our secret world
Making it up in our secret world
Shaking it up, breaking it up
Making it up in our secret world
[Verse 4]
Seeing things that were not there
On a wing on a prayer
In this state of disrepair
[Chorus]
Down by the railway siding
In our secret world, we were colliding
In all the places we were hiding love
What was it we were thinking of?
