Truth Serum

Music & Lyrics by Garland Jeffreys

From the album Truth Serum (2013)

Truth serum

Pour that liquid

Down a man’s throat

Truth serum

Get it down so fast

And that’s all she wrote

Truth serum

Sleepin’ up on the rooftop

There he go

Truth serum

Layin’ out on the corner

Bottle in his coat

Lies, lies, lies, lies, lies

Lie, lies, lies, lies and alibis

Still don’t hear no truth

Lies and honesty

Take your choice

Your voice in the voting booth

Talkin’ bout alcohol

Ooh-hoo truth serum

Pour that liquid down a man’s throat

Truth truth truth serum

Bring it down so fast

And that’s all she wrote

Lies, lies, lies, lies, lies, lies, more lies

More lies and alibis

Pour that liquid

Let it seep into his body so fast

Pour it all over his coat

That’s all she wrote

That’s all she wrote

Truth serum

Truth serum

Tell the truth

Tell the truth

Truth serum
