MY LIPS ARE SEALED

Barry Hay / George Kooymans

I can tell you any city
By the perfume and the smell
I know the path that leads to heaven
And the highway that ends in hell
The face behind the thief
Too terrified to tell
You can ask me any question
Beg me on your knees

But my lips are sealed
My lips are sealed
My lips are sealed
My lips are sealed

You can say stand and deliver
But I never would give in
You can beg me on your knees
But my lips are sealed
My lips are sealed
Sealed
My lips are sealed
I got a force field and a gladiator shield
You can torture me
But I wilt never yield
My lips are sealed
Here lam dancing high in the clouds
Don’t say please
You can smile and consider
But my lips are sealed

We can talk about the water
Blue and green and scary deep
Like love inside a heart
That’s been bitten for blood by teeth
And the colour of the river
Like a poisonous snake in heat
You can say stand and deliver
You can beg me on your knees

My lips are sealed
Sealed

And in this barren land of choices
Where lgot nothing to hide but myself
I got nowhere to hide from myself
While time has got a strangle hold
On moments of the years gone by
And then you say
And then you say
My lips are sealed
I got a force field and a gladiator shield
You can torture me
But I will never yield
My lips are sealed

My lips are sealed
I got a force field and a gladiator shield
You can torture me
But I will never yield
My lips are sealed
