Do you know where we are?
I'm longing for the dark 
Of our nocturnal life
It begins and ends with you
Don't spill my secret

You were once running wild, hiding in the morning mist
Game demands I make you mine
I thought that I could resist 
But the leopard in you silently preyed on me

I made my way back home (did you follow her?)
I handled her with care (were you in control?)
So elegant and sleek (were you not afraid?)
I need her to be near (does she belong to you?)
Don't spill my secret

You were once running wild, hiding in the morning mist
Game demands I make you mine
I thought that I could resist 
But the leopard in you silently preyed on me

Deserted by my friends (don't they understand?)
She's so much more than them (how could they compare?)
So now she's just for me (no one else can see)
I watch her while she sleeps (be sure she dreams of you)
Don't spill my secret

(It's been quite a while) since we were last outside
(And do you miss the chase?) Now that we've both been tamed
(Inside this gilded cage) prisoners of our thoughts
(You saved me from myself) don't spill my secret
Don't spill my secret

"Today a man was taken from his apartment at the New Jersey Shore 
Under record under suspicion of entrapment of a wild animal (don't spill my secret)
Griesley Port Entry discovered a caged leopard in the building
The fully-grown feline was said to be surprisingly domesticated (don't spill my secret)
By zoological experts who gave her a thorough examination, before preparing her for relocation 
A large crowd had gathered outside to watch the beautiful creature (don't spill, don't spill my secret)
As a giant cage was lowered slowly onto the street by a crane (don't spill, don't spill my secret)
From here, the leopard was transferred into the back of a truck for it's journey ahead
A startled onlooker said, it's extraordinary to think that any human being 
Could have lived in such close quarters with such a dangerous animal
Police are saying that the captor was simply besotted with the creature, and barely left her side 
It's alleged that he hunted her in the wild and expertly forged documents 
To facilitate her illegal export to the United States of America
The incident has already created much controversy
And is now likely to lead to a major international investigation 
Into the life of the man who stole a leopard"
