Lyrics
Lies
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Some lie about who they love
Some lie about the truth
Some lie to save their lives
Some lie about their youth
Some lie about age and beauty
The conquest of sex
Most lie about the night before
A woman lies for a party dress
I've lied for a stolen moment
I've lied for one more clue
I've lied about most everything
But I never lied to you
And we lie, lie, lie
On A Streetcar Named Desire
Oh we lie, lie, lie
For that sweet bird of youth
I could be great like Tenesse Williams
If I could only hear something
That sounds like the truth
Some lie in the face of death
Some lie about their fame
Some kneel and lie to God
Some lie about their name
Some lie in words and speeches
With every living breath
The young lie with their guitars
The old lie for a little respect
I've lied to lie with danger
I've lied for a drug or two
I've lied about most everything
But I've never lied to you
And we lie, lie, lie
On A Streetcar Named Desire
Oh we lie, lie, lie
For that sweet bird of youth
I could be great like Tenesse Williams
If I could only hear something
That sounds like the truth
I've lied for one more clue
I've lied about most everything
But I never lied to you
