Love The Lie
Lyricist:Sage Francis, Mark Linkous
You gotta love the lie You gotta love the lie
Love, life, love, god, girls and lies I can't hear through those veneers But you keep speaking with those pearly whites
Love the life that you live if it gives love back And we gotta stay together for the kids If you want to disappear don't announce it Vanish in thin air and bounce, quick
Fix the cowlick, slick your hair back Ride the rim bare back, you stared at Lady Godiva might have been an exhibitionist I'm not here to judge voyeuristic fetishes Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
If nobody looked, it's a closed book You could put your hang ups on a coat hook I'm from a puritanical land where they burn witches I'm the result of a welfare running up your sickness
Joy never came, Jesus never helped We were all to blame, god beat us with a belt If I heard your name, I'd retreat into myself I won't hurt your name, I'll keep it to myself with
Love, life, love, god, girls and lies I can't hear through those veneers But you keep speaking through those pearly whites
No legacy to claim, no enemies to squelch No chemical imbalance that could remedy itself [Incomprehensible]for the parents medicine is on the shelf Put the trophy in the spotlight, watch as it melts
Metal wouldn't survive, plastic is cheaper Ran into the fire, she asked me to leave her I did what I could with the wood and the flammables Stood with the good little animals, ran with the bulls
Soot on my hands that were full Put the good book on the mantle Burn, baby, burn, you could serve as a candle Last thing I heard was her on the piano Last thing I saw was her being herself By beating herself, to see if it could help
If I heard your name, I'd retreat into myself I won't hurt your name, I'll keep it to myself with
Love, life, love, god, girls and lies I can't hear through those veneers But you keep speaking through those pearly whites
Love the lie Love the lie Love the lie Love the lie
The killer never came, Jesus never helped We were all to blame, god beat us with a belt If I heard your name, I'd retreat into myself I won't hurt your name, I'll keep it to myself
No legacy to claim, no enemies to squelch No chemical imbalance that could remedy itself [Incomprehensible]for the parents medicine is on the shelf Put the trophy in the spotlight, watch as it melts with love
Love the lie Love the lie Love the lie Love the lie Love the lie Love the lie
