Love the Lie

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
