lyrics

I’ve been swimming in hot water
I’ve been circling the shallow end
Waving goodbye to my moral fibre
While I’m lapping up another mortal sin

I’ve been lurking in forbidden shadows
I’ve been no model citizen
I’ve been keeping late hours
Waking the beast and then sleeping in

Down on my dirty knees I feel the need to come clean

It’s truth serum time – It’s truth serum time
I will be blunt – I may not be kind
Truth serum time

I am worried I am blurry eyed
I’m afraid I’ve been taken in
What gets fired up gets wired up
Long ago I pushed the wrong button

Now I’m sinking in hot water
I’m drowning in the shallow end
Like my father I have faltered
Yet I blame no one for this dire descend

Up to these tattered sleeves with this battered routine

It’s truth serum time – It’s truth serum time
I will be blunt – I may not be kind
Truth serum time

I need a mess of truth serum
I have confessions and you need to hear them
But I don’t need a lecture
I just want a cure
I don’t expect to ever see you anymore

I’ll tell the whole truth, nothing but the truth (4x)

It’s truth serum time – It’s truth serum time
I will be blunt – I will not be kind
Truth serum time
