Double Life

Styx


In the dark so all alone 
Slowly reach for the telephone 
A message waits just for you 
A secret place, another rendezvous 

It's not always honesty 
That is the best policy 
But little lies can give you away 
Though you'll deny it if they say maybe you're just 

Leading a double life 
Friends in the daytime, strangers at night 
Leading a double life 
Can it be wrong when you know that it's right? 

The other side of the Berlin Wall is 
Not far enough to avoid the call 
Somebody knows, somebody's seen 
Somebody knows right where you've been 
And that you're just 

Leading a double life 
Friends in the daytime, strangers at night 
Leading a double life 
Can it be wrong when you know that it's right? 

Nowhere to hide, though we both might try 
I'm schizophrenic, and so am I 
Double life, a double life, a masquerade 
You know we all live a masquerade 
I know you're out there! 

Leading a double life 
Friends in the daytime, strangers at night 
Leading a double life 
Can it be wrong when you know that it's right?
