I know too well, I know these lines, I′ve seen them smothered, in sleek ridicule. A seedy smile, they think they′ve scored, but I know morning comes & babes alone again, too alone again So what can I do, with cheap honesty, you′re giving me more than I can see, but I′m to cool to say, that I want it all my way, get blasted by this sincerity. I wish I had, the streets full view, these people screaming, through their settled loves. so I pretend, so mellowed out, too teasing, weak enough to long for, home again, lovely home again
I tripped Fell down again I scratched my knees They bled Sew up my eyes Knead no more In our game there is no score
Forgive me father Why should ya bother? Try honesty Try honesty... Hop in your dumb truck Leave us for good luck Ride over me Ride over me...
Insane assult So sly Your well of lies ran dry I pulled the cord Free fall So high I seem so small
Forgive me father Why should ya bother? Try honesty Try honesty... Hop in your dumb truck Leave us for good luck Ride over me Ride over me... I took on the whole world The boys and young girls Die tragedy Die Tragedy... Call me a cheap-skate C′mon for pete sake Cry agony Cry agony..
Insane assult (sly) Insane assult (sly)
Forgive me father Why should ya bother now? Forgive me father Why should ya bother now?
Forgive me father Why should ya bother? Try honesty Try honesty Hop in your dumb truck Leave us for good luck Ride over me Ride over me I took on the whole world The boys and young girls Die tragedy Die Tragedy Call me a cheap-skate C′mon for pete sake Cry agony Cry agony...
If you search For tenderness It isn′t hard to find You can have the love You need to live But if you look For truthfulness You might just As well be blind It always seems to be So hard to give
[Chorus:] Honesty Is such a lonely word Everyone is so untrue Honesty Is hardly ever heard And mostly What I need from you
I can always Find someone To say They sympathize If I wear my heart Out on my sleeve But I don′t want Some pretty face To tell me Pretty lies All I want Is someone To believe
[Chorus]
I can find a lover I can find a friend I can have security Until the bitter end Anyone can comfort me With promises again I know, I know
When I′m deep Inside of me Don′t be Too concerned I won′t ask For nothin′ While I′m gone But when I want Sincerity Tell me where else Can I turn Because You′re the one That I depend upon
