You told so many lies

your tongue is black with fireflies

but you spit them out and pretend you're sneezing

And every word is such a joke

with so many pasts you'd be ninety years old

Don't you wonder why the room keeps on leaving

Hey, Hey - what's that I heard you say

Don't think that I would never need it

Hey Hey - what's that I heard you say

Don't think that I would ever believe it

It's just a thought and nothing more

that all your thoughts and moves are taught

and memorised each night before your sleeping

And every word is such a joke

strung form neon masts flying flags you hope

will win you friends and give your life some meaning

Hey, Hey - what's that I heard you say

Don't think that I would ever need it

Hey, Hey - what's that I heard you say

Don't think that I would ever believe it

You told so many lies

your tongue is stained with Alibis

You've been around the world and found it pleasing

And every word is such a joke

with so many pasts you'd be a hundred years old

Don't you wonder why the room keeps on leaving

Hey,Hey - what's that I heard you say
