Oh dont say those same idle lies

I've heard them before

This fool who left his heart on an early train

Won't buy no more

Oh no don't use

those same weeping eyes

I'll wipe them no more

I didnt want to have to be cruel

But the truth must be said

And you ain't heard enough

Oh it was not so long ago

Since you wandered out of here

To become a silver model

Of a city on the air

So don't choke me with your lies

Because this man has open eyes

And I can see

I can see I can tell

I had it enough

All those sneaky bars and smart parties

Had enough

All those sweet friends and lovers

I've I've had enough

All those lonely rooms

And blank faces

Had enough

And I want you I want you no more

I want you I want you no more

Oh dont say those same idle lies

I've heard them before

This fool who left his heart on an early train
