Verse 1

I know you deceived me, couldn't sleep last night
Now my tear stains on the wall reflect an ugly sight
I can see your secrets
No need to confess
Every-one looks naked when you know the world's address

A place that's worn
A sad pun that reflects a sadder mess
I'll repeat it for those who may not
Have already guessed 
The world's address

Under every garment I can see the world's address
Call the men of science and let them hear this song
Tell them Albert Einstein and Copernicus were wrong
