There's a cloak of darkness surrounding you
There's a dagger of guilt that's piercing through your sleepless nights
You've been dancing forward and leaping back
And fooling with odd ideas off the beaten track

Life undercover, no one can see
Life undercover, so secretly
You're hiding my brother

A poison tongue brings a furious fate
But you just escaped in the nick of time,
It was not too late
And now your light is on but the shade
Is down
And your face is smiling, but underneath
You're wearing a frown

Life undercover, no one can see
Life undercover, so secretly
You're hiding my brother

You're afraid of what you're made of
But you can't quit the race
Your compassion's out of fashion
And your faith's out of place
Do I know you, do you know me,
Can you regain the ground
When you fake it, will you make it
Is your life lost or found

There's a future lost, you'll account for the waste
If you turn it around, you still might face it un-disgraced
Now you're keeping a secret that can't be kept
The master is returning though the servant slept

Life undercover, no one can see
Life undercover, so secretly
You're hiding my brother
