Love the Lie Lyrics

You gotta love the lie
You gotta love the lieLove, life, love, god, girls and lies
I can't hear through those veneers
But you keep speaking with those pearly whitesLove the life that you live if it gives love back
And we gotta stay together for the kids
If you want to disappear don't announce it
Vanish in thin air and bounce, quickFix the cowlick, slick your hair back
Ride the rim bare back, you stared at
Lady Godiva might have been an exhibitionist
I'm not here to judge voyeuristic fetishesIf nobody looked, it's a closed book
You could put your hang ups on a coat hook
I'm from a puritanical land where they burn witches
I'm the result of a welfare running up your sicknessJoy never came, Jesus never helped
We were all to blame, god beat us with a belt
If I heard your name, I'd retreat into myself
I won't hurt your name, I'll keep it to myself withLove, life, love, god, girls and lies
I can't hear through those veneers
But you keep speaking through those pearly whitesNo legacy to claim, no enemies to squelch

No chemical imbalance that could remedy itself
[Incomprehensible] for the parents medicine is on the shelf
Put the trophy in the spotlight, watch as it meltsMetal wouldn't survive, plastic is cheaper
Ran into the fire, she asked me to leave her
I did what I could with the wood and the flammables
Stood with the good little animals, ran with the bullsSoot on my hands that were full
Put the good book on the mantle
Burn, baby, burn, you could serve as a candle
Last thing I heard was her on the piano
Last thing I saw was her being herself
By beating herself, to see if it could helpIf I heard your name, I'd retreat into myself
I won't hurt your name, I'll keep it to myself withLove, life, love, god, girls and lies
I can't hear through those veneers
But you keep speaking through those pearly whitesLove the lie
Love the lie
Love the lie
Love the lieThe killer never came, Jesus never helped
We were all to blame, god beat us with a belt
If I heard your name, I'd retreat into myself
I won't hurt your name, I'll keep it to myselfNo legacy to claim, no enemies to squelch
No chemical imbalance that could remedy itself
[Incomprehensible] for the parents medicine is on the shelf
Put the trophy in the spotlight, watch as it melts with loveLove the lie
Love the lie
Love the lie
Love the lie
Love the lie
Love the lie
