Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Show me how to lie, you're getting better all the time

And turning all against the one is an art that's hard to teach

Another clever word sets off an unsuspecting herd

And as you step back into line, a mob jumps to their feet

[PreChorus]

Now dance, fucker, dance, man, he never had a chance

And no one even knew, it was really only you

And now you steal away, take him out today

Nice work you did, you're gonna go far, kid

[Chorus]

With a thousand lies and a good disguise

Hit 'em right between the eyes, hit 'em right between the eyes

When you walk away, nothing more to say

See the lightning in your eyes, see 'em running for their lives

[Verse 2]

Slowly out of line and drifting closer in your sights

So play it out, I'm wide awake, it's a scene about me

There's something in your way and now someone is gonna pay

And if you can't get what you want, well, it's all because of me

[PreChorus]

Now dance, fucker, dance, man, I never had a chance

And no one even knew, it was really only you

And now you'll lead the way, show the light of day

Nice work you did, you're gonna go far, kid

Trust deceived

[Chorus]

With a thousand lies and a good disguise

Hit 'em right between the eyes, hit 'em right between the eyes

When you walk away, nothing more to say

See the lightning in your eyes, see 'em running for their lives

[Bridge]

Now dance, fucker, dance, he never had a chance

And no one even knew, it was really only you

So dance, fucker, dance, I never had a chance

It was really only you

[Chorus]

With a thousand lies and a good disguise

Hit 'em right between the eyes, hit 'em right between the eyes

When you walk away, nothing more to say

See the lightning in your eyes, see 'em running for their lives

[Chorus]

Clever alibis, Lord of the Flies

Hit 'em right between the eyes, hit 'em right between the eyes

When you walk away, nothing more to say

See the lightning in your eyes, see 'em running for their lives
