I have so much to say, and yet I dare not speak
Come and do my spinning now, for I have grown too weak
My weary eyes have seen all that Starr can give
Come to me, O public, for me you can forgive
I stood where no man goes, and conquered right-wing foes
With Lusting and Passion, well-known as his fashion,
The Hero digs his grave
Cast the Cameras down, that I may hide my face
Lest in this glare of spotlights, the world know my disgrace
In all that I endure, of one thing I am sure:
Lies and Excuses blur my Abuses--
A Jester's Promenade
Lying at my feet I see the charges that you bring
The Starr Report before our faces--porn and lechering
O, I long to hear you say 'twas not so wrong
I stand before you now, denial in my song:
The truth is locked inside my brain;
Unclear, it's always ne'er the same;
Beyond reprieve, I feel my pain
Trapped in Washington; a king without a crown
In this shame of lying, my smile doth masque a frown
With calls that I resign, I've now run out of room
And in one crushing moment, I realized my doom
I stood where no man goes; before me justice rose
Lies were my choosing; now I am losing
Drowned in rules of law
