Whatever Lies Will Help You Rest - The Ataris

While Kansas city sleeps

Cloaked in the twilight of this valley

At this church is lined with

Roadside poetry

I could to the most desolate seclusions

My blackest secrets still imprison me And why don’t we say what we really feel?

Whenever things are at their best…

Whatever lies will help you rest

Whenever things are at their best…

Why do we wait for it to fall apart?

Fall apart

Waking to the after-taste

Of cheap wine and bad decisions

My heart trembles in this morning glare

I could shield my eyes

From these inner most seductions

But still somehow you’ll find me there

And why don’t we say what we really feel?

Whenever things are at their best…

Whatever lies will help you rest

Whenever things are at their best…

Why do we wait for it to fall apart?

And it’s probably safe to say

I’m not the world safest bet

I’ve never been too good at being good

And its probably safe to say…

Whenever things are at their best…

Whatever lies will help you rest

Whenever things are at their best…

Why do we wait for it to fall apart?

Whenever things are at their best…

Whatever lies will help you rest

Whenever things are at their best…

Why do we wait for it to fall apart?
