I tumble in two hours late The Time Gestapo ask me to explain I say car trouble and that's no lie The trouble was I didn't get into my car on time
I'm screwed, I'm screwed My story's coming unglued And you will realise that I knew the truth And chose to misread you I'm doomed by every extra word I choose
And I am failed by their restraint To interrupt my lying tirade So I keep digging a deeper hole for me To get back out I just might Have to start to dig sideways
I'm screwed, I'm screwed My story's coming unglued And you will realise that I knew the truth And chose to misread you I'm doomed by every extra word I choose
And only the truth can rescue me But I cling to the lie like the love of my life
And though I should Admit defeat What kind of liar would that make me? My reputation would be in shreds I guess I'm lucky that when we met I gave them a fake name
I'm through, I'm through Being who you knew All due to manipulating truth I'm screwed and all for pleasing you Who knew? So much grief from such a small excuse Excuse the truth
