Out Out Damn SpotJohn's conscience would return to him in time
John lived a lie
A lie that started out white and benign
If you wanna know the truth about my life
It's a mess it's a mess it's a mess it's a mess
If you wanna know the truth about my life
I confess I confess I confess I confess
If you wanna know the truth about my life it's in disarray
I wish you met me earlier than today
John checked his hat, his coat, his mind,
And somehow now the ticket stub he cannot find
John only dabbled, he babbled, and somewhat unraveled.
He never really looked me in the eye
If you wanna know the truth about my life
It's a sham it's a sham it's a sham it's a sham
If you wanna know the truth about my life
It's a sham it's a sham it's a sham
If you wanna know the truth about the truth
It's a scam it's a scam it's scam it's a scam
I wish you met me earlier
when I was outside and I was feeding the pigeons
They were flying around, it was really pretty outside
Where did my friends go
It seemed some nights I had so many
Where did my ends go?
It seems I used to make them meet but now I'm so incomplete
When the snow turned to sleet
If you wanna know the truth about my life
It's a mess it's a mess it's a mess it's a mess
If you wanna know the truth about my life
It's a mess it's a mess it's a mess
If you wanna know the truth about my life
I confess I confess I confess I confess
If you wanna know the truth about my life
it's a sham it's a sham it's a sham
If you wanna know the truth about my life
it's a scam it's a scam it's a scam it's a scam
If you wanna know the truth about my life
It's a wreck it's a wreck it's a wreck
If you wanna know the truth about my life
I'm in check I'm in check I'm in check I'm in check
Where did my friends go
Where did my friends go
Where did my friends go
Where did my friends go
Where did my friends go
Where did my friends go
