Lyrics

Walking down the beach,
early in the night
A breeze blowing off of the shore
I saw you at the beach house
up at the hill
you were standing there at the door
I thought I saw a flicker in your eye
thought I?d gone to heaven and died
I didn?t know it then,
prophetic of the future
or so I would testify

or so I would testify
or so I would testify
So I would testify,
Testify

Dancing down the boardwalk
you?re strutting yourself
I should have known then
that?s more than enough
In casual conversation
you drop a little hint
Reveal a certain moral deficit
The lies about the passing
Of your last three ?friends?
And how they met their untimely ends
Little did I know then
That I might be the next one
That you would try and send

or so I would testify
or so I would testify
So I would testify
Testify

We decided to meet
That night for a few drinks
I didn?t know your plan
Was to make a last stand by killing me
If I hadn?t seen the poison
That was sitting at your side
I?d have taken that fatal ride
As you went away in handcuffs
You looked at me and smile
then quietly you whispered
Sometimes people lie

or so I would testify
or so I would testify
So I would testify,
Testify
