It’s A Wonderful Lie

Get up from a dream and I look for rain

Take an amphetamine and a crushed rat brain

How am I feelin'? Better, I suppose

How am I lookin'? I don't want the truth

What am I doin'? I ain't in my youth

Past my prime or was that just a pose?

It's a wonderful lie, still get by on those

I been accused of never openin' up

You get too close and I'll keep my mouth shut

Gonna run to the wind where the big bad city blows

It's a wonderful lie, still get by on those

It's a wonderful lie, by on those

Ooh, ooh

Well, you can dress to the eights, you can dress to maim

It'll make you feel great, this fortune and fame

Wearing too much makeup, not near enough clothes

It's a wonderful lie, still get by on those

It's a wonderful lie, still get by on those

So don't pin your hopes, pin your dreams

On misanthropes and guys like me

The truth is overrated I suppose

It's a wonderful lie, still get by on those

It's a wonderful lie, still get by on those

It's a wonderful lie, still get by on those

It's a wonderful lie
