Secret in This Town

I am a rake - I am a wire
I am a kettle on the fire
I am a dragon - I am a wraith
You are the lady of the lake

I am an accountant - I have a wife
And I have a house in central heights
I am a baron - with a beautiful mistress
That's my castle in the distance

'Cos there's a secret in this town
And I will search until it's found
There is a reason and I can't escape it

There is a place - I like to go
With my typewriter alone
To the mystical mountains - to the source of my powers
To enquire of him who knows

'Cos some days you fell normal - not magic at all
In your four beige bedroom walls
But there's a bat in your belfry, babe
there's a ghost in your hall
there is a treasure in us all

'Cos there's a secret in this town
And I will search until it's found
There is a reason and I can't escape it

There is a ladder to the clouds
There is a highway underground
there is a doorway and it can't quite open
