Baby I'm too schooled for cool
The world labours 'neath my ridicule
Showbiz taught me all I know:
Impress those on top and despise those below
And have some dark secret, some dark secret
Have some dark secret, some dark secret
Indiscretions left unclear
All I want is someone I can blame
Man of smoke to man of flame
Some dark secret took a hold and light's away
We didn't leave it unknown
It was our one dark secret.
Graded on a decimal scale
Where four out of ten is a hopeless fail
I give Johnny Borrell five
He's piss-poor on record, but he's not bad live
Is there some dark secret, some dark secret
Is there some dark secret, some black closet?
Does he make his racket to make amends?
All I want is someone I can blame
Man of smoke to man of flame
Some dark secret took a hold and light's away
We didn't leave it unknown
It was our one dark secret.
All I want is someone I can blame
Man of smoke to man of flame
Man of smoke to man of flame, etc, etc.
