Truth Will Out (ballad Of Melissa And Remy) Lyrics - 3d Night Surfer 7 - Chuck Prophet

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
