4. This Time I Want The Truth

You never came back
after you're little midnight snack
Now, birds have cracked the dawn
now this time I want the truth.

You're too late to trust
Your toast and burnt right to the crust
The coffee's black and strong
'cause this time I want the truth.

You're breaded trail
never went stale
you tipped the scales with your treats
and now your desert is coming
You think you've got me conned
But, this time I want the truth.

It's your final meal
you have a bitter fruit to peal
Don't serve me up a yawn.
No, this time I want the truth.

You have a full plate
and looking slightly overweight
But, your clothes are on the lawn
'Cause this time I want the truth

Please, understand
what I demand
an underhanded excuse
could put your whole life in danger
By dinner, you'll be gone and
this time I want the truth.
