Lyrics
Telling The Truth And Going Away
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Sympathy blue on memory white
Coloring blindly into the night
Caviar tooth, neuter and spay
Telling the truth and going away
Victory red on hickory black
You gave what you give, but you said that I lied
And now the part of the camera
I've been given by the crowd to play
For telling the truth and going away
I'll collect the salt, ma, every bit my fault
From the bottom of the sea
or stumble through the halls,
or tumble from a tree
For the arrogance of eloquence
has never been of consequence to me
Choking on air, popping the spare
I am nowhere
I mean, I seem neither here nor there
Tell uncle darwin that an ape again has had the final say
Telling the truth and going away
