Secrets always travel farther than they should
and loose translations
float around the neighbourhood
and rumours don't do anyone a bit of good
they just get started, funny you never know

the first-amendment vigilante attitude
the gospel truth according to the book of
someone said so
the front-line grapevine jury's in a nasty mood
you might be guilty, honey you'll never know

did you hear about the gossip-column
senate subcommitte probe
the allegations put the neck around your rope
the nominations droolin' on the envelope
a likely story, funny you'll never know
you never know
