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 heightsSo I keep my wit, my running game
My shoulders straight, chin up high
But it's all a lie
It's all a lie, it's all a lieAnd 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 painAnd I forget how the time, it 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 lieThere's no perfect way to clear the mess
We both have a past in a silver frame
See my heart, it died a slow weary death
In the tainted arms of another manYou 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
Everyone sings, everyone singsI know you can tell that I can't help myself
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 lieThe 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 heightsBut seen I'm not different than the rest of the world
When the morning rings
I just want a piece of the love of God
