Frank, you have a secret?
Everyone, gather round.
These are the juicy details,
that no one else knows in town.
Frank just went and got them,
he paid a price you see.
To carry this great secret,
just to tell you and me.

about his restless nights.
Of his heated arguments

The one you got for us?
The money that we could get,
it might easily fill a bus.
Whats that you said? It couldn't be,
this is what you kept from me?
You told the secret already?
Now why did you do that?

when no one is looking
I pull my skeletons from their closet
to count them
sorting them like laundry
