Cold Gray Light of Dawn

That endless light casts only one shadow
The cold grey light by the penthouse on the ghetto
Kill the other witness, knife plunged to the hilt
The unforgiven dawn will only spotlight your guilt

In the cold, grey light of dawn, you can't lie to yourself any more
In the cold, grey light of dawn, you can't hide the truth
Hide the truth any more

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, grey light of dawn, you can't lie to yourself any more
In the cold, grey light of dawn, you can't hide the truth
Hide the truth any more

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, grey light of dawn, you can't lie to yourself any more
In the cold, grey light of dawn, you can't hide the truth
Hide the truth any more

Cold, grey light of dawn
You can't lie to yourself any more
In the cold, grey light of dawn, you can't hide the truth
Hide the truth any more
Hide the truth
Any more
Hide the truth any more
