The Lowdown
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.
If I had the sun and the moon
and all the stars of the brightest night
I'd make your every hour high noon
yes I would
you never did like the light
I know that you've been lying
I know that you've been lying
I know that you've been lying to me
Everyone should know their place
but I find it so hard to leave
You wear your face behind your face
and you know me baby
I wear my heart on my sleeve
I know that you've been lying
I know that you've been lying
I know - yes I know - that you've been lying to me
That's the lowdown - yeah
That's the showdown - yeah
That's the breakdown - yeah
That's the runaround
That's the lowdown - yeah
That's the showdown - yeah
That's the breakdown - yeah
That's the run run run runaround - yeah
That's the lowdown shakedown comedown fall down shakedown fall down
That's the facts
