Wild Long Lie

As he rails one again

And turns to me and says

'Imagine Boris in 'ere in full police gear tonight'

He said, 'It's tougher sentences, that's what they're tryin'

'But we seen how that went down stateside, it didn't fly'

It's that time of the year again

When your past comes home

And everybody you've ever known wants it large

Jimmy's in my ear again with a motor mouth

God, I love the kid, but we need to slow it down

Oh, back to the bathroom

Back to the call for another wild, long lie

Back to the kitchen

Sprawled on the floor for another wild, long lie

And I'll tell it all night

Everybody's dying for their turn to pull out anecdotes fraught with bloody lies

And I've gone quiet 'cause my heart

Is still choking up from a love I tore apart

Oh, I've got so much pain here yet

So much love, but it's drowning every inch of my soul

So I go back to the bathroom

I'll line you up for another wild, long lie

Back to the kitchen

Sprawled on the floor for another wild, long lie

Back to the bathroom

I'll line you up for another wild, long lie

Back to the kitchen

Sprawled on the floor for another wild, long lie

And I'll tell it all night

Think I need to leave this town

I think I need to leave this town

I think I need to leave this town

Before I go down

I think I need to leave this town

Before I go down

Back to the bathroom

I'll line you up for another wild, long lie

Back to the kitchen

Sprawled on the floor for another wild, long lie

Back to the bathroom

I'll line you up for another wild, long lie

Back to the kitchen

Sprawled on the floor for another wild, long lie

And I'll tell it all night

And I'll tell it all night
