That endless light Casts only one shadow The cold grey light By the penthouse on the ghetto Kill the other witness Knife plunged to the hilt The unforgiven dawn Will only spotlight your guilt
In the cold grey light of dawn You can’t lie to yourself anymore In the cold grey light of dawn You can’t hide the truth Hide the truth anymore
You call up Emmy You’ve rehearsed the lines But she knows about Judy She knows you’re lying Put your foot in it, yeah It’s getting caught Leave it in long enough, yeah It starts to rot
In the cold grey light of dawn You can’t lie to yourself anymore In the cold grey light of dawn You can’t hide the truth Hide the truth anymore
No matter what you did No matter who you are In the fading light From a middle aged star You’ve seen every blemish Every sign of age And it’s useless to whine And it’s useless to rage
In the cold grey light of dawn You can’t lie to yourself anymore In the cold grey light of dawn You can’t hide the truth Hide the truth anymore
Cold grey light of dawn You can’t lie to yourself anymore In the cold grey light of dawn You can’t hide the truth Hide the truth anymore Hide the truth Anymore Hide the truth anymore
