i heard the truth about u
and it doesn't really read at all
like the whippin stick u raised me with
scared woman in a private hell
hush voice like electric bells
strange talk about edgar casey
and the long lame walk of the dark 70
strange talk about edgar casey
and the long lame walk of the dark 70
i heard the truth about u
yeah u
mama they woke me up
i was deep in an idiot sleep
i was just eight
why they have to call my school
tell me my mother had a nervous breakdown
i wish i believed like u do
yeah u
in the myth of a merciful god
in the myth of a heaven and hell
i hear the voices u hear sometimes
sometimes it gets so hard i feel like letting it all go
i ran away and went looking for u
back to culver city and old neighboor hood
need to know if u were really gone
need to know if u 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 said
said u weren't loosing ur mind
yeah said u just needed to rest
said u'd be comin home soon
said the doctors there would know what's best
said maybe i could go live with them for a while
i heard the truth about u
i heard the truth about
that is basicly the song
it's not all but that is the gist
i love that song
