Composed in the predawn shadows of streetlights below the International Monetary Fund.

lyrics

Secret City

In a secret city
Full of secret workers
Read the papers
The traffic is murder
These infinite hallways
A cubicle's dream
Things weren't always
Quite so bleak
So dire

A ball of need stuck to a childhood map
Full of silences and labyrinths from a secret lab
Under a secret city
Full of secret workers
Read the papers
The traffic is murder

They're going to have to pry it out of me

If only these parking garages could talk
These infinite gas lamps
In my sleep
Sometimes you were there
A distant dream, so tender
A mesh of secrets
A grid of streets

They're going to have to pry it out of me
