Dreams of long life,
What safety can you find?
See the great unknown
That shape for miles
Good eye
I'm a good guy

Dreams of long life
What safety can you find?
If the sea will start strong
Maybe we had
Maybe we had to fly
Was a good try
I'm a good guy

As high as the day
I read the papers
Before crime would pay
I learned to bury most beliefs

I have succeeded
I won't compete for long
I'm not not supposed to show you
I've got two secrets
But I only told you one

Dreams of long life
What safety can you buy?
If the sea will start strong
Maybe we had
Maybe we had to fly
Somebody make me say no, no
Somebody make me say no, no
Somebody make me say no, no
Somebody make me say no, no, no, yes

I have succeeded
I won't compete for long
I'm not not supposed to show you
I've got two secrets
But I only told you one

I'm not not supposed to show you
I'm not not supposed to
I'm not not supposed to show you
I'm not not supposed to

    Totally about temptation. I think this is were the male speaker goes astray. This album is about the death of a relationship -- here's the cheating bit. A nice, unfortunate way to start off a morose and brilliant album. Love it.
