Violent Femmes - Lies Lyrics
Well Im reading this poemAnd its so profoundAnd I like its rhythmAnd I like its soundIts by a very famous poetNo critic can criticiseAnd then I pause a momentAnd I start to realizeHes tellinLies lies liesOn the motel tv.I dig the evangelistHell tell you all about thatAnd then he tell you all about thisHes preachin up a stormBy the sea of galileeHes mixin up the truthWith something funny I start to seeHes tellinLies lies liesI never had this problemWith nobody in the governmentI guess I always figuredThey never mean what they meantAnd God help us allNot to be so stone surprisedWhen we wake up in the starsWith the skies in our eyesIf we keep tellinLies lies liesGordon gano: vocals, guitarBrian ritchie: bassVictor delorenzo: drumsRecorded at carriage house, stamford, ct gorno music reprinted with permission
