Secret Messages:
A moving stream of information
That is floating on the wind
The secrets never end
And now they call,
They sing, they play, they dance
For you, from out of the blue,
What can you do?
The secret messages are calling to me endlessly
They call to me across the air
The messages across the atmosphere
They whisper in your ear, they’re calling everywhere
Where words cascade like rainbows tumbling from the sky
Then I’ll be there, I’ll be there
When messages will call to you their secrets all around
Without a sound, they’re all around
Those secret messages that spill into the air from far away
So far away
A flowing river of illusion running with confusion
Never gone – it goes on and on
The secret messages are calling to me endlessly
They call to me across the air
The messages across the atmosphere
They whisper in your ear, they’re calling everywhere
So Serious:
Night after night, I try to make it all fit together
Night after night, I see you as someone I remember
You took me by surprise, opened up my eyes
Now we gotta talk this over
Can it really be so serious, to be all broken up and delirious
I guess we’ve really been out of touch, but can it really be so serious
Day after day, I know it’s not the way that you wanted it
Day after day, I try to find the key but it don’t fit
But you know how it is, no matter what I did
We gotta talk it over
Can it really be so serious, to be all broken up and delirious
I guess we’ve really been out of touch, but can it really be so serious
Tonight, tonight, I’m thinking over everything you said to me
Tonight, tonight, I’m sorry but I just didn’t see
And now it’s up to you, there’s nothing else to do
We’ve gotta talk it over
Can it really be so serious, to be all broken up and delirious
I guess we’ve really been out of touch, but can it really be so serious.
