Keep a Secret - Project Bongo

So much on my brain Don't know if you can take it Your heart is fragile, baby I don't wanna break it If you know my sins Will you still trust me? If I let you in Will you still love me? Can you keep a secret? I've got skeletons They're coming out the closet The hands around my throat Don't want me to be honest If you know my sins? Will you still trust me? If I let you in Will you still love me? Ah-I see monsters in my bed Ah-I got screws loose in my head If I show you inside me The ghost in my mind Will you treat me like your friends? Ah-I gotta know Can you keep a secret? Look me in my eyes And see what I've been hiding Don't act surprise, you know I've always hated lying Gave your heart and soul Told me to take it You're the one who said Nothing could change it Ah-I see monsters in my bed Ah-I got screws loose in my head If I show you inside me The ghost in my mind Will you treat me like your friends? Ah-I gotta know Can you keep a secret?

I stay up late and read a lot at night Lately she's begun to wonder why She don't know I'm scared that I'll start talking in my sleep You're a hard secret to keep And every time she asks me where I've been A cheaters paranoia begins Scrambling for an answer anything she might believe You're a hard secret to keep One slip of the tongue's all it would take Just one little note that I forgot to throw away The slightest trace of make-up on a shirt that won't come clean You're a hard secret to keep I never meant for you to touch my heart I never meant to take one night this far How much longer can I live this double life I lead? You're a hard secret to keep One slip of the tongue's all it would take Just one little note that I forgot to throw away The slightest trace of make-up on a shirt that won't come clean You're a hard secret to keep I wonder if she feels you every time she touches me You're a hard secret to keep

Each morning, a missionary advertises neon sign He tells the native population that civilization is fine And three educated savages holler from a bamboo tree That civilization is a thing for me to see So bongo, bongo, bongo, i don't wanna leave the congo, oh no no no no no Bingo, bangle, bungle, i'm so happy in the jungle, i refuse to go Don't want no bright lights, false teeth, doorbells, landlords, i make it clear That no matter how they coax him, i'll stay right here I looked through a magazine the missionary's wife concealed (magazine? what happens?) I see how people who are civilized bung you with automobiles (you know you can get hurt that way Daniel?) At the movies they have got to pay many coconuts to see (what do they see, Danny?) Uncivilized pictures that the newsreel takes of me So bongo, bongo, bongo, he don't wanna leave the congo, oh no no no no no Bingo, bangle, bungle, he's so happy in the jungle, he refuse to go Don't want no penthouse, bathtub, streetcars, taxis, noise in my ear So, no matter how they coax him, i'll stay right here They hurry like savages to get aboard an iron train And though it's smokey and it's crowded, they're too civilized to complain When they've got two weeks vacation, they hurry to vacation grounds (what do they do, Danny?) They swim and they fish, but that's what I do all year round So bongo, bongo, bongo, I don't wanna leave the congo, oh no no no no no Bingo, bangle, bungle, I'm so happy in the jungle, I refuse to go Don't want no jailhouse, shotgun, fish-hooks, golf clubs, I got my spears So, no matter how they coax him, I'll stay right here They have things like the atom bomb So I think I'll stay where I am Civilization I'll stay right here
