It's All a Lie

The lips of time, they kiss again When I walk alone into the night They know my voice, they know my name My need for love, my fear of heights So I keep my wit, my running game My shoulders straight and chin up high But it's all a lie, it's all a lie, it's all a lie And I forget how the time it flies When my fingers crossed, I hope in vain That you'll be home with sleepy eyes To fix it all, 'cause you know my pain And I forget how the time flies When the day is long, and it keeps me dry 'Cause it's all a lie, it's all a lie, it's all a lie There's no perfect way to clear the mess We both a past, in a silver frame See, my heart, it died, a slow weary death In the tainted arms of another man But you and I we're no different Than the rest of the world When the morning rings Everyone wants a piece of the love of god And everyone sing, everyone sings I know you can tell that I can't help myself I can't help myself 'Cause it's all a lie, It's all a lie, it's all a lie It's all a lie, it's all a lie, it's all a lie The lips of time, they kiss again When I walk alone into the night They know my voice, they know my name My need for love, my fear of heights But see, I'm not different than the rest of the world When the morning rings I just want a piece of the love of god
