Something in my head don't feel so straight since i sold it
I said you might stop walking around here looking for explosives
Yeah walking in 7/8 time looking for you
I said i might start walking around here looking for explosives
I'm a born liar who walks like a killer
I'm a born liar who walks like a killer
I'm a born liar who walks like a killer
I'm a, born liar who walks like a killer
I get up
From where i sit (i sit)
You turn me upside down
Just looking at the back of your head (your head, your head)
I get up (i get up)
From where i sit (i sit)
You turn me upside down
Just looking at the back of your head (your head, your head)
I get cranked
Yeah, i get cranked
Yeah, i get cranked
So cranked
Down the days to bend my ways and keep honest
I can't help wishing my mind a city full of roses
Well i'm digging up buried time just to spend it with you
Walking down pony road
And the sky's so blue
I'm a born liar who walks like a killer
I'm a born liar who walks like a killer
I'm a born liar who walks like a killer
I'm a, born liar who walks like a killer
I get up
From where i sit (i sit)
You turn me upside down
Just looking at the back of your head (your head, your head)
I get up (i get up)
From where i sit (i sit)
You turn me upside down
Just looking at the back of your head (your head, your head)
Just walking around
In this city i drown
Like a worried man
I'm in the city of roses
