Truth Will Out (Ballad of Melissa and Remy) |
Mellissa always said she had a right to be wrong |
Maybe that’s the reason she lied |
Remy said that he was only looking for a friend |
The night they asked him up inside |
No one knows exactly what went down in that room |
How the truth came out or from whose lips |
Sometimes it builds, like a dam and it bursts |
Other times it stumbles and slips |
Till it all comes out — Go on and jump and shout — |
But it’s gonna take a war to stop it |
Remy said a scar ran down the side of his face |
The cop said, «Son, that isn’t enough» |
Well, he called himself the Greek but he only spoke French |
We met him after hours at the club |
Mellissa said she fainted at the sight of it all |
She said Remy had to carry me out |
«See, I’d never seen a gun up close in person before' |
And the words like honey poured from her mouth |
Till it all comes out — Go on and jump and shout — |
But it’s gonna take a war to stop it |
Remy gave a statement with his fingers crossed |
He said, «l hope this means that I can still vote» |
When they brought Melissa in, she didn’t look at him once |
She hung her head and she read from her notes |
The Greek faced the camera — didn’t utter a word |
He couldn’t speak or even move his head |
The prosecutor stood — cracked a joke and he smiled |
Said, «You don’t know it, son, but you’re already dead» |
Till it all comes out — Go on and jump and shout — |
But it’s gonna take a war to stop it |
«I may never even get to see you again» |
Remy said; |
«I ain’t done nothin» |
Tighten up your panties, boy |
Loosen up your wig |
You better pray nobody finds you |
Now Mellissa’s got a family and a government job |
And no one ever mentions the past |
Sometimes she lies awake in the middle oi the night |
Wondering how long can this fairy tale last |
Me, I took a train to the border that night |
L spend a little time in Berlin |
Sometimes I think I’ll give Mellissa a call |
But I wouldn’t know where to begin |
Till it all comes out — Go on and jump and shout — |
But it’s gonna take a war to stop it |
Till it all comes out — Go on and jump and shout — |
But it’s gonna take a war to stop it |
