Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Billy lays his cards out on the table
Sadie wants so badly to believe
That the breeze blowing through the open window
Is the reason he ain't rolling up his sleeves
She plays the queen of questions
He plays the king of fools
But she don't have to win for him to lose
[Chorus]
All she asks is the truth
You lie and you lie
She returns with proof
You try to deny it
Yeah, you trip on your tongue
You slip on your words
You're going down, slowly but surely
And you fall through the hole in your story
You fall through the hole
[Verse 2]
Billy makes a call from San Francisco
Says his plane gets in at half past 6:00
Sadie says, "I'll be there, babe, with bells on
I can't wait to hear about your trip"
Now a suitcase filled with secrets
And another one filled with shame
Go 'round and 'round the baggage claim
[Chorus]
All she asks is the truth
You lie and you lie
She returns with proof
You try to deny it
Yeah, you trip on your tongue
You slip on your words
You're going down, slowly but surely
And you fall through the hole
And you fall through the hole
We all fall through the hole in our story
We all fall
Through that hole
[Outro]
We all fall
We all fall
We all crawl
