I live in a house with a tin roof and Every time it rains, I can feel my brain It's moving back and forth Upside down, east-west Feeling and remembering everything you do I was up last night tossing and turning Couldn't get to sleep and I slept thru the morning Need to clear my head and get out of the city All alone in the jungle you'll find me Close your eyes and hear my secret Deep, deep loving, hear my secret Hear my secret, hear my secret Sometimes I can hear the tremble below me Pounding thru the floor, my body so restless It lives in the basement below some boxes Makes me feel so strange and so thoughtless so Maybe someday this roof will cave in You'll find me on the floor looking at the stars These walls are made of brick, plated in gold But I'm still here growing so old Close your eyes and hear my secret Deep, deep loving, hear my secret Hear my secret, hear my secret Close your eyes and hear my secret Deep, deep loving, hear my secret Hear my secret, hear my secret
