Double

(a tribute to a certain TV show, in the style of Smash Mouth)

Happened so fast, you don't know how you got here

But here you are, there's no way out

Ignorance is bliss, but you've got lots of knowledge

It makes you want to scream and shout

And now you're walking on a very narrow ledge

Watch your step or you might fall

'cause suddenly nobody is the way you remember

and you're the best example of all

(chorus)

I've got a secret, I know something about you

I wish I had a safe place to go

I've got a secret, I know something about you

I wish I didn't know what I know

Friends you thought were foes, foes you thought were friends

No one's on the up-and-up

They've been known to poison, are you gonna swallow

What they put into your cup

They wanna buy your silence like a diamond ring

For now you'll let them think that they've won

And now your existence hangs by a thread

Precarious in more ways than one

I've got a secret, I know something about you

I wish I had a safe place to go

I've got a secret, I know something about you

I wish I didn't know what I know

(instrumental)

(bridge)

I'm glad, you're mad, I didn't mean to burst your bubble

too bad, so sad, it looks like you're in some trouble

(double)

Now everywhere you go it seems you're not alone

And before you speak you think twice

And the best way to navigate the winding road

Is to follow Daddy's advice

It feels like a no-win situation

But somewhere out there someone cares

And if you ask him he'll be more than happy

To go with you anywhere

I've got a secret, I know something about you

I wish I had a safe place to go

I've got a secret, I know something about you

I wish I didn't know what I know

I've got a secret, I know something about you

I wish I had a safe place to go

I've got a secret, I know something about you

I wish I didn't know what I know

(ad lib. over chorus several times)

I've got a secret, I know something about you

I wish I had a safe place to go

I've got a secret, I know something about you

I wish I didn't know what I know

I've got a secret…(repeat and fade)
