Into the Truth

The remains of the weekend Later, by the place I went out looking, for some simple things I returned form the deep end with my mind erased I found a stranger, lying in the bed, right next to me Where did she come from? How did we meet? Her hair spins like a suicide, out onto the sheets I found a name, next to number, on the back of a receipt She came out on the way Time doesn't wait for anybody And I'm talking to myself like it's you I didn't mean to hurt nobody I took the lies And stretched them Into the truth Vaguely, I remember After having to bear a few Stumbling down the sewers Of second avenue There was cocktails and cover chart Loud music, and lights And some trouble from those knowing They're going home alone tonight I heard a man's voice, Come from the corridor Followed by a sharp knock on the door He said: I know that you're in there We've been through this before I scrambled to find my clothes on the floor Time doesn't wait for anybody And I'm talking to myself like it's you I didn't mean to hurt nobody I took the lies And stretched them Into the truth And, time doesn't wait for anybody And I'm talking to myself like it's you I didn't mean to hurt nobody I took the lies And stretched them Into the truth And, time doesn't wait for anybody And, I'm not looking for an excuse And, I used to want to be somebody I took the lies And stretched them Into the truth
