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?
