In My Secret Life Songtext
von Leonard Cohen

In my secret life
In my secret life
In my secret life
In my secret life

I saw you this morning
You were moving so fast
Can′t seem to loosen my grip
On the past

And I miss you so much (ooh)
There's no one in sight
And we′re still making love (oh-ooh, oh-ooh)
In my secret life
In my secret life

I smile when I'm angry
I cheat and I lie
I do what I have to do
To get by


But I know what is wrong (ooh)
And I know what is right (ooh, oh-oh)
And I'd die for the truth (oh-ooh, oh-ooh)
In my secret life
In my secret life

Hold on, hold on, my brother (oh-oh, oh)
My sister, hold on tight (ooh, oooh, ooh, ooh)
I finally got my orders
I′ll be marching through the morning
Marching through the night (ooh)
Moving cross the borders (ooh)
Of my secret life (ooh)

Looked through the paper
Makes you wanna cry (cry)
Nobody cares if the people
Live or die

And the dealer wants you thinking
That it′s either black or white
Thank God, it's not that simple (it′s not that simple)
In my secret life (ooh)


I bite my lip (ooh)
I buy what I'm told (ooh, oh-oh)
From the latest hit
To the wisdom of old (ooh, oh-oh)
But I′m always alone (ooh)
And my heart is like ice (ooh, oh-oh)
And it's crowded and cold (oh-ooh, oh-ooh)

In my secret life
In my secret life
In my secret life
In my secret life

In my secret life
In my secret life
In my secret life
In my secret life
