Come on confess with confusion... spread it around They trickle down your cheek...tears fall like seed on barren ground Your thoughts are scattered like paper everywhere Tiny piece of laughter and despair But you cry true tears of joy Passion is your weakness but you feed it everyday Like a moth to the naked flame... you just can't keep away You twist the truth and you turn the other cheek But everybody knows it's just salvation that you seek And you cry true tears of joy Yeh you cry true tears of joy... oh yeah, alright It flickers on your face I can see it in your eyes I knew for you a moment So don't be so surprised It's only pleasure that you can't resist But say one word of truth and I'll see you cry True tears of joy Yeah you cry true tears of joy [repeat]
