When life is like a book That has a missing page A mind is full of thoughts That torture you with age What secrets do you find Behind those lying eyes?
You are all alone But never on your own With those voices in your head And horrors in your home And do you hear those cries When you close those tired eyes?
And when you lift those floorboards In the middle of the night Don't you know that someday It is gonna come to light Like a time bomb, The fuse is lit And the time is ticking away
A nation wonders why And a hundred camera men Appalled at what they hear Await the moment when The secrets that you hide Are no longer kept inside
Oh mother pray for me I can't sleep 'till you set me free From this time bomb
When life is like a book That has a missing page The only thing to do Is throw the book away With those secrets that you hide Behind those lying eyes
