Lies - Low

When they found you on the edge of the road

You had a pistol underneath your coat

But it all started back in '79

Your mother used to work from sunset to 5

And when you knew enough to know where to go

You said you wanted to be out on your own

Why don’t you tell me what you really want

Instead of making up the same old lies, lies, lies

You say you must be going out of your mind

And I can see you when I look in your eyes

You’re always talking on the end of your tongue

And sweep the ashes underneath the rug

You swear you’re having just the time of your life

You’ve got it wrapped in pretty papers and white

Why don’t you tell me what you really want

Instead of making up the same old lies, lies, lies

Lies, lies, lies

Lies, lies, lies

Oh baby we gotta go

The shadow’s taking its toll

We’re not winning any more

Time is keeping score

It’s the blind leading the blind

One can handle the night

Oh, it’s not what I wanna say

But I’ll say it anyway

When I saw you on the edge of the road

You had a pistol underneath your coat

I should be sleeping by your lonely side

Instead of working on this song all night
