Truth Will Out - Grr

It's a sin to tell a lie until we trick out the truth That depends on what you do and don't believe What you have hidden up your sleeve Younger than your shadow and as sweet as your tooth What have you forbidden from my view? What have you kept from me? What have I held from you? What will they say when they haul you away? Will anyone miss you, or kiss you, to say "Goodbye" (Goodbye) With a tear or a coin for your eye When they finally trick out the truth There are witches in the air Jack o'lanterns on the stairs And a wig to turn your hair electric blue Ghouls are sighted, children frighted Superheroes and villains Wondrous women by the millions Who fade to the parade And join the masquerade Right outside your door a werewolf and his claw Painted faces with a penny chew and Kensington gore Mussolini and his mistress in defeat And a witness with a cutlass arrange a winding sheet Singing "Leaning On A Lampost On The Corner Of The Street" The Marxists cheer a working girl Groucho, Chico, Harpo and Karl She's tattooed from her head to toe She's inky like a girl I know A contagion of invidia Just like the famous Lydia Just like Helen, late of Troy The Myna Bird, the Myrna Loy Bud and Lou were wrestling in the parlour Playing cards with Gustav Mahler We were calling every hand and every hold To a silent movie pianist Accompanying the action From our description and distraction Playing vamps and trills and rambles, sound effects and rags and rumbles Without even breaking stride Just as the bloody vampire nips his bride We were so scared that we knelt down to pray With a bishop by Bacon Who caused some dismay Who summons up tormented souls doused with feathers and molasses And the ashes of unholy crosses Somebody has to die before we trick out the truth I'll be coming back and I will turn the screw Longer than the shadow of some pulp fiction sleuth Standing in a costume of your choice Lady Godiva on a horse And Godzilla, of course For should we part at the end of the day When angels attend you to whisk you away We are falling down deep Like children into sleep And the candy has been counted And the bonfire will be haunted By orphans who are heard but never seen Each and every Halloween What will they say when they haul you away? Will anyone miss you, or kiss you, to say "Goodbye" (Goodbye) With a tear or a coin for your eye When they finally trick out the truth When they finally trick out the truth

And every morning before I'm awake I walk around the world to make sure she's alright And every evening 'fore I bolt the door I give the stars a stir to make sure they will spin all night For I see people who will scratch And spit and kick and fight And I see nations war about whether Right is left and whether wrong is right And I know storms inside your head Can amplify the plight But no matter what the weather You and the clouds will still be beautiful No matter what the weather You and the clouds will still be beautiful And every Troy with wooden horse I take to peaceful waters but can't make him drown And every Bastille that gets storm troopered Hail to the chief comes raining, rainin', rainin', rainin' down And I've seen people conduct lightning Down to a summer's day And I see nations playfully hurl Snowballs packed with stones and clay And I know rain inside your head Can seriously put a stop to play But no matter what the weather You and the clouds will still be beautiful No matter what the weather You and the clouds will still be beautiful, so let it rain And we see flying saucers, flying cups And flying plates and as we trip down lovers lane We sometimes bump into the gate and I know Thunder in your head can still reverberate But no matter what the weather You and the clouds will still be beautiful No matter what the weather You and the clouds will still be beautiful No matter what the weather So let it rain, so let it rain, so let it rain Just let it rain, so let it rain, so let it rain So let it rain, just let it rain, so let it rain, so let it rain

The truth will set you free. Glancing around the room But everyone's so hollow. Where did all the people go? What resides now is this perception of vertigo. I've ascended so high And I would love to come back down. Plant my feet back on the ground. With these lights turned down low I'll get through this nice and slow. The truth will set you free. Ardently searching, but all the masses do is follow. Apprehensive of the sea, but these waters remain shallow. This bond has been cut dry. My aim is true. Those tired out words you shout somehow rang true. The truth will set you free. Questioning rigorously, but all the masses do is follow. Apprehensive of the sea, but these waters remain shallow. Running up a slippery slope, but we're standing on the gallows. Never knowing how arduous these times are destined to be. Grinding hard to comprehend all that we come to bear. Constraints in life can break you down at times. In due time the truth will set me free. I'm still striving to find my place in this world. Grateful for the chances I've been given.
