The Truth Lyrics

I will get my story straight
Before we meet at the hotel lobby bar
Before we take this any further
Before we tear this apart

Well I hear you have the meeting from the palm of your hand
I hear your grass is greener
I hear you're making a stand
They blow their bitter trumpets as I read the room
Repeat after me, is that the best you can do

Is that the best you can do?
Is that the best you can do?

Well how much do you know, and how much can you give us?
Well how much do you know and how much are they asking for?
I'm not here to make friends, it's a means to an end
It's a means to an end, I'm not here to make friends
It is not something I would recommend
But equally well, I am not offended

The truth is an exercise in patience
The truth is not what we signed up for
The truth is no longer concerned with the facts
The truth is a constant stream of non-sequiturs
The truth is an unmade bed
The truth is love works in mysterious ways, I guess we'll never know
The truth is I don't know whether to sink or swim
The truth is a one-way system in an unfamiliar city
The truth is I'm not sure how we got here
The truth is I'm not sure we can ever leave
The truth waits for no-one
The truth is I've never met or been in contact with that person in my life
The truth is I don't remember
The truth is not what it was
The truth is ready when you are

The truth is all things to all men
The truth is all things to some men
The truth is where you draw the line
The truth is whatever you want it to be
The truth is a rabbit in a hat
The truth is a foreign language
The truth is your browsing history
The truth is a bitter pill
The truth is unpasteurised, the proof is in the pudding
The truth is neither here nor there
I suspect the truth lies somewhere in the middle
I suspect the truth lies somewhere in the middle
The truth is an unnamed source
The truth is not available for comment at this time
The truth is an infinite playlist
The truth is not what you expected
The truth has over one hundred million views
The truth is unverified and unverifiable
But it is the truth if I say it is
The truth will not be televised
The truth is we're no longer sure it is my voice on those recordings
The truth is a sinking ship
The truth is a moot point
Cry me a river!

The truth comes in different sizes
The truth is a no-nonsense haircut
The truth is around here somewhere, I remember having it, but not what I did with it
The truth is in a Moscow hotel room
The truth is hidden in a complex series of offshore companies
The truth is encrypted
The truth is a cold shower
The truth is I don't know what I'm doing and I've been scratching around for some way to say it
The truth is a liquid lunch
The truth is your privacy is important to us
The truth is all of the above
Delete as applicable

Well I keep friends in all the right places
And I'll feed you dirt on a need-to-know basis
Bathe me in soft light and capture my good side
If you get the drinks in I will give it my all tonight
I'll work the room like I know what I'm doing
A picture of calm under a killing moon
My fingers are pins and my head is a ruin
I'll work the room like I know what I'm doing

The truth is...
I hold all the cards
The truth is...
I hold all the cards
The truth is...
The truth is...

I am the truth
You will never see me again
And even if you did, you wouldn't recognise me

You will never see me again
And even if you did, you wouldn't recognise me

The truth is...
You will never see me again
And even if you did, you wouldn't recognise me
You will never see me again
And even if you did, you wouldn't recognise me
