Under The Rug
R. Stonehill, D. Perkins, & T. Taylor
I have a secret I can't tell
And I've learned to conceal it well
Ah but this disturbing smell
Keeps coming from the carpet
That's where the old ghosts hide away
Down in the darkness and decay
I work so hard to make them stay
Down beneath the floorboards
Oh I needed the perfect plan
But it's all gotten out of hand
Keep my head in the sand now
It's so scary under the rug
Bury your sins and they won't survive
I told myself 'till the big surprise
Down in the dirt is where they thrive
Like little poison toadstools
Under the rug
It's the thing in Pandora's box
Biting through all the chains and locks
Now the whole house is rocking
It's so scary under the rug
It's so hairy under the rug
Skeleton's dance and I fear they might
Rattle their bones in the broad daylight
So I wear a poker face
Close all the curtains just in case
But something lurks in the crawling space
Pointing bony fingers
I hear the ticking of my telltale heart
Like a bomb set to blow my world apart
I wish that guilt would make us smart
But I'm sweeping all this garbage
I have a secret I can't tell
And I've learned to conceal it well
Under the rug
