Lyrics
That endless light casts only one shadow
The cold gray light by the penthouse on the ghetto
Kill the other witness, knife plunged to the hilt
The unforgiving dawn will only spotlight your guilt
In the cold gray light of dawn
You can't lie to yourself anymore
In the cold gray light of dawn
You can't hide the truth, hide the truth anymore
You call up Emmy, you've rehearsed the lines
But she knows about Judy, she knows you're lying
Put your foot in it, yeah, it's getting caught
Leave it in long enough, yeah, it starts to rot
In the cold gray light of dawn
You can't lie to yourself anymore
In the cold gray light of dawn
You can't hide the truth, hide the truth anymore
No matter what you did, no matter who you are
In the fading light from a middle-aged star
You've seen every blemish, every sign of age
And it's useless to whine, and it's useless to rage
In the cold gray light of dawn
You can't lie to yourself anymore
In the cold gray light of dawn
You can't hide the truth, hide the truth anymore
(Cold gray light of dawn)
You can't lie to yourself anymore
In the cold gray light of dawn
You can't hide the truth, hide the truth anymore
Hide the truth anymore
Hide the truth anymore
