lyrics

Written by Bert Keely.

I cried on my way to work today
I heard a voice, and it wasn't the radio or the CD
It was the love of my life whisperin' close in my ear
"I love what you love, what we are, and what you want us to be"
Sublime, the luck of her love is mine,
Soft as sunshine, solid as stone, she tickles me to tears.

You don't hear songs about relationships that last.
Cause time spent pleasantly just slips into the past.
If there's no dirt, then no one wants to hear the story.
Well here's a shocker for your ears: I've been livin' in Cyn!
I always have been, through thick and thin
In our senior year of high school she stopped my heart
and blew my cool, and our dirty little secret is I'm still
Livin' in Cyn!

Now after twenty years of Cyn-fulness you'd think I'd change my tune
And the seasons sure do vary as the rhythm falls and blooms
But the lights will likely dim one day without a hint of drama
That is unless this dirt's enough for you to put in your gossip column:
I'm livin' in Cyn! I always have been, for 20 years, through thick and thin,
Come on give me some skin, open up and let me in
In our senior year of high school she stopped my heart
and blew my cool, and our dirty little secret is I'm still
Livin' in Cyn!
