It's no secret that a friend is someone who lets you help
It's no secret that a liar won't believe anyone else
They say a secret is something you tell one other person
So I'm telling you ... child
A man will beg (Love, we shine like a
A man will crawl Burning star
On the sheer face of love We're fallin' from
Like a fly on a wall The sky ... tonight)
It's no secret at all

It's no secret that a conscience can sometimes be a pest
It's no secret ambition bites the nails of success
Every artist is a cannibal, every poet is a thief
All kill their inspiration and sing about the grief
A man will beg (Love, we shine like a
A man will crawl Burning star
On the sheer face of love We're fallin' from
Like a fly on a wall The sky ... tonight)
It's no secret at all
