Out out damn spot
John'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
