Lie for a Lie - Nick Mason, Rick Fenn

A game’s a game I hear you say

Enough emotion in a day

We’ll never live enough to play

I hear you say

You make the way you make the moves

Giving clues about the rules

But there’s no way to warn the fools

They’re only fools

Give me a lie for a lie

Give me a truth for a truth

Nothing is hard to believe

No one is hard to deceive

Leave me a light in the dark

Give me a lie for a lie

Give me a lie for a lie

Give me a truth for a truth

So let the fire within me burn

You know something I should learn

But I don’t know which way to turn

Still I turn

Give me a lie for a lie

Give me a truth for a truth

Nothing is hard to believe

No one is hard to deceive

Leave me a light in the dark

Give me a lie for a lie

Give me a lie for a lie

Give me a truth for a truth

And when the flame begins to go

I’ll be there inside the door

You’ll never know that I care more

Than I can show

Give me a lie for a lie

Give me a truth for a truth

Nothing is hard to believe

No one is hard to deceive

Give me a lie for a lie

Give me a lie for a lie

Give me a truth for a truth
