Bone Orchard - Come Clean - 1988/2023

Ⓒ Corcoran 1988 Ⓟ Corcoran BMI 2023

Track from upcoming album, “Clinical Mayo”, due out late spring/summer 2023. Originally, another Tonebender-era composition that never saw the light of day. Was one of many pieces written about my leaving that group. The others, you’ll just have to figure out for yourselves.

All instruments and vocals courtesy of M. Corcoran (the "last man standing").

Lyrics:

Well, I stand here before you to bear witness to the truth.
And I don't see the point in further beating around the bush.

Yeah, I feel clean when I come clean,
This ain't no character assasination.
Yeah, I feel clean when I come clean,
I ain't guilty by association anymore.

Well I never intended to lead you on or pull your chain.
But you seemed to get turned on when we're hangin' here in so much pain.

Yeah, I feel clean when I come clean,
This ain't no character assasination.
Yeah, I feel clean when I come clean,
I ain't guilty by association anymore.

Now I'm feeling like a free man,
It's all out in the open, I've lost the point in hoping
That we'll ever see eye to eye and reach an understanding,
Yeah, here's where I'm standing, raising up my hand and watching you get blown away.

Well, it built up for so long inside that i don't know how
I ever got thru it, but that ain't important now.

'Cause I feel clean when I come clean,
This ain't no character assasination.
Yeah, I feel clean when I come clean,
I ain't guilty by association anymore.
