[verse] So I watch you wash your hair Underwater, unaware And the plane flies through the air [chorus] Did you think I didn't have to choose it That I alone could win or lose it In all the places we were hiding love What was it we were thinking of? [verse] In this house of make believe Divided in two like Adam and Eve You put out and I receive [chorus] Bridge: ------- [D bass riff] Oh the wheel it is turning spinning round and round And the house it is crumbling but the stairways stand .......................... With no guilt and no shame, no sorrow or blame Whatever it is, we are all the same Making it up in our secret world Making it up in our secret world Making it up in our secret world Shaking it up Breaking it up Making it up in our secret world [verse] Seeing things that were not there On a wing, on a prayer In this state of disrepair [chorus] Ssh, listen....
