The Conversation

Once, I was invisible

For all the world to see

I traveled through the ether

On the blood of my enemies

And if they dared to whisper

When they thought they were alone

Then I was just as deadly

As a bug on the telephone

And though I was a child

And though I knew it well

You'd only know deliverance

To hope I would never tell

The night began to close around

The neighborhood again

But as I walked the streets

The devil tumbled down like rain

And though I was a child

And I knew right from wrong

Three can keep a secret

If two are dead and gone

Not alone, anyway

All alone, let us pray

The secret of my mystery

Will never see the dawn

And you will never, ever know

If you were once my pawn

And when I was a child

And when I went away

You were not the victim

For it was you who let me stay
