true tears of joy

come on confess your confusion

spread it around

they trickle down your cheeks tears fall

like seed on barren ground

your thoughts are scattered

like paper everywhere

tiny pieces 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 falme

you just can't keep away

you twist the truth

then you turn the other cheek

everybody knows its just salvation that you seek

and you cry true tears of joy

oh you cry true tears of joy

oh yeah

it flickers on your face

i can see it in your eyes

i knew you for a moment

so don't be so surprised

its only pleasure that you can't resist

but say one word of truth

and i'll see you cry true tears of joy

oh you cry true tears of joy

yeah you cry true tears of joy

oh you cry true tears of joy

oh yeah

tears of joy
