They don't make lies
Like they used to
They don't make lies
Like they used to
You don't make lies
Like you used to
You don't make lies
Like you used to
In the old days
You took pride in your lies
You used to pay more attention
To details.
Not theses flimsy things
You hand me
Nowadays
They don't make lies
Like they used to
They don't make lies
Like they used to
You don't make lies
Like you used to
You don't make lies
Like you used to
They used to be stronger
They used to last longer
You used to pay more attention
To detail
Nowadays the lies that get made
Just fall apart
They don't make lies
Like they used to
They don't make lies
Like they used to
No you don't make lies
Like you used to
You don't make lies
Like you used to
You moved in
To my hotel
You could have done better
But oh well
I tapped your phones
I read your mail
We split the rent
But you couldn't
Make the bail...
(make the bail)
Now you never listened
To the fables
You just danced to the symphony
Of the musical sound of
Your ever expanding sea
(ever expanding sea)
And now with your hair
Turning so white
You live in your car
And drive
Drive all night.
And you think about j.d.
And why he had to leave
Kneeling in some bunker
Wiping his nose
On his sleeve
And i hope you don't mind
If i grab your private life
Slap it on the table
And split it
With a knife
Four hearts in a can
Speeding through the countryside
And they're driving as fast as they can
Four hearts in a can
Speeding through the countryside
And they're driving as fast as they can
Trying to outrun
Four thousand problems
Trying to outrun
Four thousand girls
Four hearts in a can
Speeding through the countryside
And they're driving as fast as they can
Trying to outrun
Four thousand problems
Trying to outrun
Four thousand girls
And they're headed for
Four thousand and one
Have i said too much
Am i losing my touch.
I don't think we should touch.
You go with the other men
Me i beat myself to sleep
Maybe i should have just
Left all this in a lock-up box
In boston
Never said too much
I always tried to save face
I never said too much
Tried to save my face.
Only a few spare incidents
Of disgrace.
Never said too much
I said we shouldn't touch
I beat myself to sleep
You go with the other men
Go with your other men
I beat myself to sleep
I beat myself to sleep
Maybe i should have left all this
In an airport lock-up box
In boston
All your women things
All your frilly things
Scattered 'round my room
Right where you left them
When you left them
Scattered 'round my room
All your hardness
All your softness
And your mercy
All your bridges and bras
Your cotton
And gauze
All your buckles and straps
Releases and traps
All your screws
And false nails
Oriental winks
And egyptian veils
Oh all of these things
I gathered them
And i made a dolly
I made a dolly
A spread-eagle dolly
Out of your frilly things
Why couldn't i have loved you
This tenderly
When you were here
In the flesh
So tenderly
How could i ignore
Your left breast
Your right breast
How could i ignore
Your hardness
Your softness
And your mercy
Well it's been seven years
And the thought of your name
Still makes me
Weak in the knees
How could i ignore
Your left breast
Your right breast
Life's a joke
A waiting game now.
A juggling of vices
Tiny tiny vices
And they don't anchor me
To the ground
I know who the hangman is
So life's a joke
Ha ha ha
Ha ha ha
The clocks on the wall
Creeps higher.
Save save
Restraint restraint.
It's a joke
And i know who the hangman is
A ship in a vial
A headstone on the wharf
And it will pin me
To the ground
Ha ha ha
Ha ha ha
All the lights look green
So unbend
Your toughest smile
I think we've got
I think we've got
I think we've got
