[Chorus 1]
Small creature are you
Small creature you are
How quickly you are uncovered
Naked and cold
Mumbling and crying
Knowing everything's been discovered
[Chorus 2]
Many secrets have you
Many secrets you have
But it's only a matter of time
Did you finally decide
There's nowhere to hide
And really no reason why
[Bridge]
Hey Mr. Shame
Have you got a name
I don't feel like calling you Buddy
I don't want to hear your story
I don't want to hear why
And I even don't care if you're sorry
[Chorus 2]
Many secrets have you
Many secrets you have
But it's only a matter of time
Did you finally decide
There's nowhere to hide
And really no reason why
[Bridge]
Strong is your body
Strong are your bones
Strong as your bloody lie
Is uncovered
[Chorus 1]
Small creature are you
Small creature you are
How quickly you are uncovered
Naked and cold
Mumbling and crying
Knowing everything's been discovered
[Chorus 2]
Many secrets have you
Many secrets you have
But it's only a matter of time
Did you finally decide
There's nowhere to hide
And really no reason why
[Bridge]
Strong is your body
Strong are your bones
Strong as your bloody lie
Is uncovered
Uncovered
Uncovered
Uncovered
[Outro]
Strong are your bones
Small creature are you
Small creature you are
How quickly you are uncovered
Naked and cold
Mumbling and crying
Knowing everything's been discovered
[Chorus 2]
Many secrets have you
Many secrets you have
But it's only a matter of time
Did you finally decide
There's nowhere to hide
And really no reason why
[Bridge]
Hey Mr. Shame
Have you got a name
I don't feel like calling you Buddy
I don't want to hear your story
I don't want to hear why
And I even don't care if you're sorry
[Chorus 2]
Many secrets have you
Many secrets you have
But it's only a matter of time
Did you finally decide
There's nowhere to hide
And really no reason why
[Bridge]
Strong is your body
Strong are your bones
Strong as your bloody lie
Is uncovered
[Chorus 1]
Small creature are you
Small creature you are
How quickly you are uncovered
Naked and cold
Mumbling and crying
Knowing everything's been discovered
[Chorus 2]
Many secrets have you
Many secrets you have
But it's only a matter of time
Did you finally decide
There's nowhere to hide
And really no reason why
[Bridge]
Strong is your body
Strong are your bones
Strong as your bloody lie
Is uncovered
Uncovered
Uncovered
Uncovered
[Outro]
Strong are your bones
