It's A Wonderful Lie Songtext / Lyric

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

I'm past my prime, or was that just a pose?

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






I've been accused of never opening up

You get too close, then I keep my mouth shut

Gonna run to the wind, where the big bad city blows

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

It's a wonderful lie

By on those



Now, 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, I still get by on those

It's a wonderful lie, I still get by



So don't pin your hopes or pin your dreams

To misanthropes, guys like me

And the truth is overrated, I suppose

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



It's a wonderful lie, I still get by
