Our Lips Are Sealed
Everclear · The Vegas Years [2008]
Can you hear them
They talk about us
They're telling lies
Well, that's no surprise
Can you see them
See right through them
Yeah that happens to you
Nothing gets through for you
Doesn't matter what they say
In the jealous games people play
Yes, our lips are sealed
When we walk by
Then we must chose
In our defense
Silence
When you look at them
Look right through them
That's when they'll disappear
That's when we'll be feared
Doesn't matter what they say
In the jealous games people play
Yes, our lips are sealed
Pay no mind to what they say
It doesn't matter anyway
Hey hey hey
Our lips are sealed
Hush my darling, don't you cry
Quiet, angel, forget their lies
Can you hear them
They talk about us
Telling lies, telling lies
That's no surprise
Can you see them
See right through them
Yeah that happens to you
Nothing gets through for you
Doesn't matter what they say
In the jealous games people play
Yes, our lips are sealed
Pay no mind to what they say
It doesn't matter anyway
Hey hey hey
Yes, our lips are sealed
They talk about us
They're telling lies
Well, that's no surprise
Can you see them
See right through them
Yeah that happens to you
Nothing gets through for you
Doesn't matter what they say
In the jealous games people play
Yes, our lips are sealed
When we walk by
Then we must chose
In our defense
Silence
When you look at them
Look right through them
That's when they'll disappear
That's when we'll be feared
Doesn't matter what they say
In the jealous games people play
Yes, our lips are sealed
Pay no mind to what they say
It doesn't matter anyway
Hey hey hey
Our lips are sealed
Hush my darling, don't you cry
Quiet, angel, forget their lies
Can you hear them
They talk about us
Telling lies, telling lies
That's no surprise
Can you see them
See right through them
Yeah that happens to you
Nothing gets through for you
