I heard the truth about you
|
And it doesn't really read at all
|
Like the whipping stick you raised me with
|
A scared woman in a private hell
|
Hushed voice like electric bell
|
Strange talk about Edgar Cayce
|
and the long lame walk of the dark 70's
|
I heard the truth about you
|
Yeah, you
|
Mama they woke me up
|
I was deep in an idiot sleep
|
I was just 8 years old
|
I heard big words with a horrible sound
|
Mama they called my school
|
To tell me my mother had a nervous breakdown
|
|
I wish I believed like you do
|
Yeah, you
|
In the myth of a merciful God
|
In the myth of a Heaven or Hell
|
I hear the voices you hear sometimes
|
Sometimes it gets so much I feel like letting go
|
Sometimes it gets so hard I feel like letting it go
|
Sometimes it gets so goddamn hard
|
|
|
I ran away, went looking for you
|
Back to Culver City and the old neighborhood
|
Need to know if you were really gone
|
Need to know if you were gone for good
|
I ran through the projects at night
|
Hide in the dark from my friends in the light
|
Hide from my brother-in-law
|
Hide from the things he'd say
|
He said you weren't losing your mind
|
He said you just needed a rest
|
He said you'd be coming home soon
|
He said the doctors there would know what's best
|
He said that maybe I could go live with them for a while
|
|
I heard the truth about you
|
I know the truth about you...
|
Yeah, they woke me up
|
I was just 8 years old
|
Sometimes it gets so hard I feel like letting it go
|
Sometimes it gets so hard I feel like letting it all go...
