The Conversation Songtext
von Greg Dulli

Once I was invisible
For all the world to see
I traveled thru the ether on
The blood of my enemies

And if they dared to whisper
When they thought they were alone
Then I was just as deadly as
A bug on the telephone

And though I was a child
And though I knew it well
You′d only know deliverence
To hope I would never tell


The night began to close around
The neighborhood again
But as I walked the streets
The devil tumbled down like rain

And though I was a child
And I knew right from wrong
Three can keep a secret if
Two are dead and gone

Not alone
Anyway
All alone
Let us pray

The secret of my mystery
Will never see the dawn
And you will never, ever know
If you were once my pawn


And when I was a child
And when I went away
You were not the victim
For it was you who let me stay
