Song Description

This tune is about the forces in your life that would have you sell your soul. In one verse it's apparent the aggressor is the corporate employer. In other verses, many relationships can be imagined. In the end this question remains "Do you choose to tell them what they don't want to hear or do you keep everyone happy by doing and saying what's expected?"

Put It In The Closet

Verse
They?ll ask your name, they?ll ask your number
They?ll smile that smile they?ve practice for years
They?ll tell you their thoughts, then they?ll tell you yours.
You know they want you to play, some say it?s better this way

Chorus
Put it in the closet, it?s a dirty little secret
Put it in the closet and lock it away
Put it on the top shelf and don?t tell a soul
You know they?ll find it, you know they?ll find it one day.

Verse
We know what?s good for you, we?ve thought it all through
So do what we tell you and don?t disappoint us
Don?t think too much boy, you might confuse yourself
You know we want you this way, not such a high price to pay

Chorus
Put it in the closet, it?s a dirty little secret
Put it in the closet and lock it away
Put it on the top shelf and don?t tell a soul
You know they?ll find it, you know they?ll find it one day.

Verse
You?re just a name, you?re just a number
Maybe they?ve used up all there was to use
You sold your soul for things that might have been
They?ll help you find a new way, they?ll tell you just what to say

Chorus
Put it in the closet, it?s a dirty little secret
Put it in the closet and lock it away
Put it on the top shelf and don?t tell a soul
You know they?ll find it, you know they?ll find it one day.
Put it in the closet, put it in the closet
Put it away, it?s a dirty little secret, lock it away
Put it in the closet, put it in the closet, lock it away.
