Lyrics for Secret Meeting

I think this place is full of spies I think they're onto me Didn't anybody, didn't anybody tell you Didn't anybody tell you how to gracefully disappear in a room? I know you put in the hours to keep me in sunglasses, I know And so and now I'm sorry I missed you I had a secret meeting in the basement of my brain It went the dull and wicked ordinary way It went the dull and wicked ordinary way And now I'm sorry I missed you I had a secret meeting in the basement of my brain I think this place is full of spies I think I'm ruined Didn't anybody, didn't anybody tell you Didn't anybody tell you, this river's full of lost sharks? I know you put in the hours to keep me in sunglasses, I know And so and now I'm sorry I missed you I had a secret meeting in the basement of my brain It went the dull and wicked ordinary way It went the dull and wicked ordinary way And now I'm sorry I missed you I had a secret meeting in the basement of my brain And now I'm sorry I missed you I had a secret meeting in the basement of my brain It went the dull and wicked ordinary way It went the dull and wicked ordinary way It went the dull and wicked ordinary way It went the dull and wicked ordinary way It went the dull and wicked ordinary way It went the dull and wicked ordinary way
