Milking The Truth

© 2017 Mark Cote

milking the truth 'til it's sour lies now
that's what it became
chewing the fat 'til your old and grey now
how do you behave

(bridge) and when those rats start to scurry around
                  hurry around
                  the wonders of the world will not be found
                  living underground

chirping birds with nothing to say
except behind your back
turn your eyes they don't know
haven't got the knack

(chorus) when you're gone I think you'll know
                  don't you know
                  what you seek is what you know
                  don't you know
                  don't you know...
(instrumental)

milking the truth 'til it's sour lies now
that's what it became
you can say it in so many ways
it's just the same

(bridge) and when those rats start to scurry around
                  hurry around
                  the wonders of the world will not be found
                  living underground

trying to shake the hand of time
with your calloused skin
the pearly gates may not unlock
won't let you in

(chorus)
