Lyrics

Liar, liar with your pants on fire White spades hangin' on the telephone wire Gamblers reevaluate along the dotted line You'll never recognize yourself on heartattack and vine Doctor, lawyer, beggarman, thief Philly Joe remarkable looks on in disbelief You wanna taste of madness, well, you have to wait in line Probably someone you know on heartattack and vine Boney's high on China white, Shorty found a punk Do you know there ain't no devil, there's just God when he's drunk Well, this stuff will probably kill you, let's do another line What do you say you meet me down on heartattack and vine See that little Jersey girl in the see-through top With the pedal pushers, sucking on a lollipop Well, I bet she's still a virgin but it's only 25 'til nine You can see a million of 'em on heartattack and vine Better off in Iowa, against your scrambled eggs Crawling down Cahuenga on a pair of broken legs You'll find your ignorance is blissful every goddamn time Your're waitin' for the RTD on heartattack and vine Liar, liar with your pants on fire White spades hangin' on the telephone wire Gamblers reevaluate along the dotted line You'll never recognize yourself on heartattack and vine
