Under the Rug

I have a secret I can't tell
And I've learned to conceal it well
Under the rug

I have a secret I can't tell
And I've learned to conceal it well
Ah, but this disturbing smell
Keeps coming from the carpet
Under the rug

That's where the old ghosts hide away
Down in the darkness and decay
I work so hard to make them stay
Down beneath the floorboards
Under the rug

Oh, I needed the perfеct plan
But it's all gotten out of hand
I keep my head in the sand now
It's so scary undеr the rug

Bury your sins and they won't survive
I told myself till the big surprise
Down in the dirt, that's where they thrive
Like little poison toadstools
Under the rug

It's the thing in Pandora's box
Biting through all the chains and locks
Now the whole house is rocking
It's so scary under the rug
(So scary)
It's so hairy under the rug
(Under the rug)
It's so scary under the rug

Oh, skeleton's dance and I fear they might
Rattle their bones in the broad daylight
Oh, yeah

So, I wear a poker face
I close all the curtains just in case
But something lurks in the crawling space
Pointing bony fingers
Under the rug

I hear the ticking of my telltale heart
Like a bomb set to blow my world apart
I wish that guilt would make us smart
But I'm sweeping all this garbage

I have a secret I can't tell
And I've learned to conceal it well
Under the rug
