"Come Clean"

Mary Mcbride


Been watching you just wandering, wandering around
You walk sixty blocks uptown, sixty blocks down
You got sweat on your palms and a hole in your chest 
You really did it this time, now nothing's left 
Hey, Hey Mister Come Clean 

I remember when you told me you were a creature of the sea
Everything looks blurry in the blue glass in between 
Living underwater so you couldn't hear my screams
If you're always on the go you never do believe 
Hey, Hey Mister Come Clean 

Tell me what you did and what said
Tell me all the lies that were in your head
Nothing's ever simple or ever what it seems

There's never a good reason to go back to square one
But nothing ever looks the same when you're on the run 
You can't put it back together when it's come undone
You can't put a stop to any of it once it has begun 
Hey, Hey Mister Clean
