Lyrics

Said I love you 'Till you don't know you're born Said I love you Till the far side of dawn But in the morning If you must leave Don't leave with your apologies And if you come back If I liked you at all Remember I liked you to Fall on your knees Liar, liar, you're my last desire Thought your kind of love Was just a thorn on a rose Tried hard to be faithful Not hard enough I suppose Tried hard to drown with a hum and a drum In a pretty drug slum mire tried bearing your sighs And your sneers and your frown Tried wearing your jewels and your heels and your crown But it was nothing but a twist of barbwire It was nothing but a twist of barbwire It was nothing but a twist of barbwire See I promise I'll be constantly clean Did you think that I still say what I mean? Now you're keening and you have to decide Will you open your legs or your eyes? Oh do you pray now 'Cause I pray all the time As the soul can't escape What the heart may disguise Liar, liar, you're my last desire Thought your kind of love Was just a thorn on a rose Tried hard to be faithful Not hard enough I suppose Tried hard to drown with a hum and a drum In a pretty drug slum mire tried bearing your sighs And your sneers and your frown Tried wearing your jewels and your heels and your crown But it was nothing but a twist of barbwire It was nothing but a twist of barbwire It was nothing but a twist of barbwire
