Violent Femmes - Living a Lie текст песни

Im living a lie because I cant tell the truth.

Theres a fire in the basement,

A fire on the roof.

Im just sitting in my chair wearing a smile.

Im going to vanish in the air after awhile.

Did did you get the news that Im lost at sea

Hey, hey somebodys confused though it couldnt be me.

I wasnt near that place.

I dont know where it was.

She didnt see my face.

You know its true because

I know wise things.

I know about these things.

I know why it is caged,

So I dont know why Im enraged.

Im lying about my birth and Im lying about my death.

For all Im worth, I lie with every breath.

Lying homes are built on my crying habitations.

Heres the milk that I spilt,

My undying lamitations

I know about these things, I know about these things

I know why it is caged,

So I dont know why Im enraged.

Bass/guitar solo:

Always the brides maid, never the bride.

Look what my brides made, out of my life.

Always the brides maid, never the bride.

Look what your brides made, you shook my life.

Always the brides maid, never the bride.

Look what your brides made, and you know, you shouldnt have lied.
