I'm living a lie because I can't tell the truth.
|
There's a fire in the basement,
|
a fire on the roof.
|
I'm just sitting in my chair wearing a smile.
|
I'm going to vanish in the air after awhile.
|
Did did you get the news that I'm lost at sea
|
Hey, hey somebody's confused though it couldn't be me.
|
I wasn't near that place.
|
I don't know where it was.
|
She didn't see my face.
|
You know its true because
|
I know wise things.
|
I know about these things.
|
I know why it is caged,
|
so I don't know why I'm enraged.
|
|
I'm lying about my birth and I'm lying about my death.
|
For all I'm worth, I lie with every breath.
|
Lying homes are built on my crying habitations.
|
Here's the milk that I spilt,
|
my undying lamitations
|
I know about these things, I know about these things
|
I know why it is caged,
|
so I don't know why I'm enraged.
|
|
Always the bride's maid, never the bride.
|
Look what my bride's made, out of my life.
|
Always the bride's maid, never the bride.
|
Look what your bride's made, you shook my life.
|
Always the bride's maid, never the bride.
|
Look what your bride's made, and you know, you shouldn't have lied.
