Never Tell

It's not like me to speak of things
I really shouldn't tell
With secrets built to last
I find they stick with me so well

Other words may slip out
On bedroom floors
Untimely fun
I've come undone

How will I play it safe?
I never tell
I never tell

Loose lips sink ships

To set a sail on a setting sun
In seas of rage I'm hiding from
Boys who can't help but laugh in class
When the teacher's mad
Girls of song and lace
Moloko doom
Milkshake room
Just keep it close like bayonets
Or plead the fifth
And run away

Your secret's safe with me
You've got the code
I lost the key
That roller coaster frown
Has got me spinning upside down

Two words in paraphrase
My lips are sealed
I played it safe
One romance on the line
When rumours start to push
The air around
Around
Around
...Never tell
