Rebellion (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.
Sleeping is giving in
No matter what the time is
Sleeping is giving in
So lift those heavy eyelids
People say that you'll die
Faster than without water
But we know it's just a lie
Scare your son, scare your daughter
People say that your dreams
Are the only things that save ya
Come on baby in our dreams
We can live our misbehavior
Every time you close your eyes
Lies, Lies!
People try hide the night
Underneath the covers
People try hide the light
Underneath the covers
Come on hide your lovers
Underneath the covers
Come on hide your lovers
Underneath the covers
Hidin' from your brothers
Underneath the covers
Come on hide your lovers
Underneath the covers
People say that you'll die
Faster than without water
But we know it's just a lie
Scare your son, scare your daughter
Scare your son, scare your daughter
Now here's the sun, it's alright! (Lies!)
Now here's the moon it's alright (Lies!)
Now here's the sun, it's alright! (Lies!)
Now here's the moon it's alright (Lies!)
But every time you close your eyes (Lies!)
