THE SECRET LIFE OF WALTER MITTY

(21/13/09)

Verse 1
a deadly game of espionage during the last war
what's a hero like you doing getting noised up in your car

Verse 2
dragging on a cigarette you view the world through narrowed eyes
shuffling along with a lowered head as you mumble out replies

Verse 3
brilliant surgeon in the news brings back a hopeless case
if they knew who you really were, then they would not engage your face

Verse 4
though master of many practices and so good with new machines
today you're sending in your car to get a change of wheel

Chorus 1
is this your life
which ones your life
living THE SECRET LIFE OF WALTER MITTY

Chorus 2
is this your life
which ones your life
living THE SECRET LIFE OF WALTER MITTY

Bridge 2

Verse 5
da hands the automatic as you take the witness stand
staring down at a shopping list that's appeared within your hand

Verse 6
sensation as a woman screams then she's right there in your arms
you're shaken awake, it's time to go, as the wife gets in the car

Verse 7
gunning engines of the hydroplane through 40 miles of hell
a touch of fog, you pull aside, as the mist it casts it's spell

Verse 8
you grin at death so mockingly, while whistling through your teeth
dying slowly by degrees, within this office space of grief

Chorus 3
is this your life
which ones your life
living THE SECRET LIFE OF WALTER MITTY

Chorus 4
is this your life
which ones your life
living THE SECRET LIFE OF WALTER MITTY

Outro
secrets abound
tales spun round and round and round
the truth unfound
