The Black Cadillacs Lyrics

 

Truth Lyrics

Truth Song Lyrics


And it's true we named our children
After towns that we've never been to.
And it's true that the clouds just hung around
Like black Cadillacs outside a funeral.

And we were done, done, done
With all the f**k, f**k, f**kin' around.
You were so true to yourself.
You were true to no one else.
Well I should put you in the ground.

I've got the time, I got the hours,
I got the days, I got the weeks.
I could say to myself
I've got the words but I can't speak.
Well I was done, done, done
With all the circ, circ, circlin' round.

I didn't die and I ain't complainin'.
I ain't blamin' you.
I didn't know that the words you said to me
Meant more to me than they ever could you.
I didn't lie and I ain't sayin'
I told the whole truth.
I didn't know that this game we were playin'
Even had a set of rules.

We named our children after towns
That we've never been to.
And it's true that the clouds just hunger around
Like black Cadillacs outside a funeral.
And we were laughing at the stars
While our feet clung tight to the ground.
So pleased with ourselves
For using so many verbs and nouns.

But we were all still just dumb, dumb, dumber
Than the dirt, dirt, dirt on the ground.
Well wings on flames, kings with no names,
Well this place just ain't got right air right now.
You were so all over town but still so Crayola brown.
Well you should run 'round yourself right now.
And we were done, done, done
With all the f**k, f**k, f**kin' around.
Circlin' round.

This band – The Black Cadillacs – makes an interesting folk pop similar to famous Tito & Tarantula’s After Dark. They sing philosophic things like why do we name our children after the cities, we’ve never been to? Or dark clouds are gathering outside the window, resembling the black Cadillac, like the one used on funerals. Why don’t people true to themselves and other people around? Why do we have words, but don’t speak to each other? All we do is circling around.
