'Til ten, there's a burning desire in here.
'Til then, it will burn inside of me.
A man can tell a thousand knives.
A man can tell a thousand lies.
A man can tell a thousand lives
I've learned my lesson well
Hope I live to tell the secret I have learned
'Til then it will burn inside of me
The truce is never far behind
A man can tell a thousand lies
I've learned my lesson well
Hope I live to tell the secret I have learned
'Til then it will burn inside of me
The truth is never far behind
Hope I live to tell the secret I have learned,
'Til then, there's a bird inside of me
Hope I live to tell the secret I have learned,
'Til then, it will burn inside of me
How can Rod Teal totale?
Sometimes it gets so hard to hide a quill
I wasn't ready for your horse
Too blind to see the lion on the wall.
I have a tale to tell
Sometimes it gets so hard to hide it well
I was not ready for the fall
Too blind to see the writing on the wall.
I have a tail, two tails
or
I have a tale, two tales
I have a tale to tell
Sometimes it gets so hard to find a quail
Sometimes it gets so hard to hide it well
Sometimes it gets so hard to hide a quail.
Sometimes it gets so hard to hide it well.
Sometimes it gets so hard to hide the whale
Sometimes it gets so hard to hide it well
The bride could see the lighting in the hall
Too blind to see the writing on the wall
Too blind to see Orion on the wall
Too blind to see the writing on the wall
I have a tail to tell
I have a tale to tell
I hope I lift a tail
I hope I live to tell
I know where Goofy lives
I know where beauty lives
I know where pity lives
I know where beauty lives
I was not ready for the phone
I was not ready for the fall
I've learned my whistle well
I've learned my lesson well
With an empty pail
Hope I live to tell
