Chuck Prophet - Truth Will Out (Ballad of Melissa and Remy) Şarkı Sözleri

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 up like a dam it bursts
Other times it stumbles and slips

Till it all comes out
Go on and jump and shout
But it's going to 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

And it all came out
Go on and jump and shout
But it's going to take a war to stop it

Remy gave a statement with his fingers crossed
He said, I 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

And it all came out
Go on and jump and shout
But it's going to take a war to stop it

"I may never even get to see you again"
Remy said, "I ain't done nothing"
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 lays awake in the middle of the night
Wondering how long can this fairy tale last

Me I took a train to the border that night
I 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 going to take a war to stop it
