This Secret Life Lyrics - John Hiatt

I dreamed I was being kept alive 

To bear the brunt of a family joke 

About which no one spoke 

To multiply and divide 

This hideous thing, this human kind 

With something else on his mind 

I was going to bed 

You were saying, "I do" 

Then I lost my head 

(Chorus) 

When I awoke 

I was living this secret life 

Complete with a secret dog 

And a secret wife 

In another zone 

Address unknown 

This secret life 

This secret life

And I am chilled to be here 

Among these ghosts so heaven-bent 

With hell to pay for rent 

When I am holding you near 

I'm not so sure this world is real 

I'm not sure how I feel 

And I was going to say 

"Not a whisper, dear" 

Then I drifted away 

(Chorus) 

When I awoke 

I was living this secret life 

Complete with a secret dog 

And a secret wife 

In another zone 

Address unknown 

This secret life 

This secret life

Come out, come out 

Wherever you are 

You look so near 

You seem so far 

This scale's messed up 

The angle's wrong 

Your day will come 

Meanwhile, the night is long 

(Chorus) 

When I awoke 

I was living this secret life 

Complete with a secret dog 

And a secret wife 

In another zone 

Address unknown 

This secret life 

This secret life
