Lies

Well, I´ll be your cigarette man
Do whatever I can
Honey, can´t you see at the end of the line there´s a home
So far away
Sittin´ here like a smoke in the rain
I´m trying to figure out why sometimes I can´t tell you
all the things you wanna hear
Oh, yeah, never ever I can walk your garden
You don´t speak, you don´t say a word
It really doesn´t matter anyway
Why am I like a child in the playground
Wanna touch the rain
Oh, why can´t you tell me lies
Like you never ever done before
Oh, why can´t you tell me lies
I need to hear some more
Some more
Some more
Like you never ever done before
Sometimes I´ve been so close
But all of the sudden memories just seems to disappear
So far away
It touches me to see your graceless moves
On the other hand it kills me so shame on you
To crusify me on your... yeah
Oh, yeah, never ever I can walk your garden
You don´t speak, you don´t say a word
It really doesn´t matter anyway
Why am I like a child in the playground
Wanna touch the rain
Oh, why can´t you tell me lies
Like you never ever done before
Oh, why can´t you tell me lies
I need to hear some more
Some more
Some more
Like you never ever done before
Well, life can sometimes be such a tragedy
You would not understand
You would not understand
Why you´re bringin´ me down
Oh, yeah, never ever I can walk your garden
You don´t speak, you don´t say
And it really doesn´t matter anyway
Why am I like a child in the playground
Wanna touch the rain
Oh, why can´t you tell me lies
Like you never ever done before
Oh, why can´t you tell me lies
I need to hear some more
Oh, why can´t you tell me lies
Like you never ever done before
Oh, yeah, can´t you tell me lies
I need to hear some more
Some more
Some more
Like you never ever done before
Some more
Some more
Like you never ever done before
`Cause I´ll be your cigarette man
I do whatever I can
But, honey, can´t you see at the end of the line there´s a home
Why do I keep telling you these god damn lies?
