The problem with lying to someone is that you have to remember

Exactly what you've said, otherwise, you're kind of screwed,

Because you can't go back,

And I guess sitting there in a wheelchair, pretending you're helpless

Falls under that category, because it's been another one of those,

And I'm starting to wonder what goes through people's minds, sometimes,

Because it really seems like nothing.


But of course, just because it seems like nothing

Doesn't mean it is.

There's usually something, even if that something is one of those things

That's going to end up with someone dead or in trouble, but apparently

If you've got everyone thinking you're helpless,

You don't care,

'Cause no one could ever believe it was you.


Then again, we're cops, and

It's kind of in our nature to wonder about things,

So we figured it out, of course,

And there was Tessa, floating in the pool,

Despite claiming that she couldn't walk or do anything else, pretty much.

That little theory pretty much got shot to hell,

And we made our case.


Makes me wonder what she was thinking,

Because I really don't think she was,

Trying to set her husband up, just because of an affair,

I mean, sure it's heard of, but some things…

Well, to put it shortly, some things are more ridiculous than others.

Guess it's up to us to figure out what's what,

Because if we don't, it's likely no one else is going to.


Even so, any way I think about it, I wouldn't do it.

Wouldn't have the affair, because it's not worth it,

Wouldn't pretend to be helpless, because I could never pull it off,

Which is almost funny, but at the same time, not.

The stupid thing about all of this is that people tell so many lies sometimes

That they can't find their way back, and by the time they decide they want to,

It's already too late.
