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
Don't spill my secret
Don't spill my secret
Don't spill my secret
Don't spill my secret
Don't spill my secret

I can easily relate to the poor fellow who thought it a good idea to steal a leopard and take it home. As a man who works with cats every day, I can say that wild animals do not belong in cages or in apartments. Perhaps the guy would have done better to have lived in the place from which he took the leopard.
"the leopard in you..." HMMM
I wish i thought this song meant what I'd like it to mean
