You can repeat it as often as you like[00:00:18]

The story won't ring true[00:00:25]

You've been inventing a cocktail of confections[00:00:28]

No one believes but you[00:00:35]

Contradictory fictions together form a track：[00:00:38]

Once the words have been spoken they're out[00:00:45]

And you can't take them back[00:00:49]

Opinions you've ventured adrift upon the wind[00:00:59]

No council is kept your own[00:01:05]

As quiet as you whisper your thoughts can't be preserved[00:01:09]

For one person's ears alone[00:01:16]

There's always an eavesdropping multitude in on your words[00:01:19]

You always were[00:01:30]

Overheard[00:01:38]

Nothing's secret now[00:01:51]

Nothing's safe and sound[00:01:59]

Nothing's private[00:02:06]

You didn't mean it to come out as it did[00:02:09]

But the narrative still escaped[00:02:16]

Benign indiscretions and confidences spilled[00:02:20]

They've got them all down on tape[00:02:27]

And sooner or later they'll hold you to account[00:02:30]

I hear you've been spouting[00:02:38]

All kinds of poppycock[00:02:41]

To any prepared to hear[00:02:45]

Better be careful[00:02:52]

Don't speak so loud or so clear[00:02:55]

Remember whatever you say can't be unsaid[00:03:05]

Not once it's tripped off the tongue[00:03:12]

A flippant aside might in later light be taken[00:03:16]

As proof of a smoking gun[00:03:23]

And so here's a maxim for life you'd do well to observe[00:03:27]

Choose your words[00:03:39]

As if you were constantly overheard[00:03:45]
