Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm saying nothin'
I’m walking small
You get the picture, those shifting eyes could tell it all
I've been too easy, for too many years
Ain't been so dumb, since I was wet behind the ears
[Chorus]
So now my lips are sealed
I could never reveal
Just where I buried the gold
And the bodies that never grew old
[Verse 2]
I’m saying nothin’
I’m keeping schtum
I know what's going on behind a closed door, in a darkened room
[Verse 3]
I'm saying nothin'
Nothing at all
You'll hear no rumours, with your ear to the whispering wall
[Chorus]
So now my lips are sealed
I could never reveal
What lies deep in my cave
The secret goes to my grave, oh-oh-oh
[Bridge]
The perfect crime
Is a work of art
Locked in a safe place
And that breaks my heart
Nothing to share, that wouldn't be too smart
[Chorus]
Now my lips are sealed
I could never, ever reveal
Just where I buried the gold
And the bodies that never grew old, oh-oh-oh
[Refrain]
Woah, I'm saying nothin'
I'm saying nothin' baby, nothin' at all
I’m saying nothin’
My lips are sealed
I’m saying nothin’ at all
