Just Because I Feel Like It...

     And because I’m in an “80s kind of mood,” enjoy this Mike Post song: one of his less well known, but in my opinion one of his best, written for a scene from the 1986 drama Stingray:

I hear the words beneath your breath
That no one’s supposed to hear.
You can’t disguise
The sound of fear.
I see the lies behind your eyes
That no one’s supposed to see.
You cover up
But you’ll never hide the truth from me.

Underneath a sea of silence
You’re an easy mark.
Deadly dangers
Shady strangers
Whisper in the dark
Everyone’s a suspect but
The victim of the crime
You’re on your own
Below the line.

You wear a Mona Lisa smile
But it’s a give away.
You turn it on
Like night and day.
And there’s a secret on your lips
That’s written deep inside your heart,
You like awake
And wonder who you really are.

Underneath a sea of silence
You’re an easy mark.
Deadly dangers
Shady strangers
Whisper in the dark
Everyone’s a suspect but
The victim of the crime
You’re on your own
Below the line.
You’re all alone
Below the line,
Below the line.

     What a pity that series would be deemed politically incorrect today!
