lyrics
Me and you in a knock down drag out
Mouths full of hate
Both so angry we can't see straight
Its a long way back to your dead end street
Yeah. I know we're spent
But it takes all night if we drag our feet
(With) heels over head (and)
Eyes on the prize, (you) can't watch your back for a knife
I understand infatuation
but to lie?! You don't have to lie.
I can still hear the voice of Scrappy Dobbins
Though he's long since passed
In his cajun parlance (He's not from the North)
Sayin' "one thing I can't stand is a lie!
It makes it hard to live.
It's a scarlet letter they may not forgive"
That is the game, such is to blame,
Carefully choose whom to shame.
I understand exaggeration
But to lie?!
We were cutting a rug through Barbed Wire Love
And I could feel you pulling me in
I fell hook line and sinker
During Peace, Love and Understanding
When a heart wakes up
Can it only love once
Or over and over again?
Or is it merely a fax of the first time you went and laid it bare?
When you lie
Cuts me open when you lie
You don't have to lie
Mouths full of hate
Both so angry we can't see straight
Its a long way back to your dead end street
Yeah. I know we're spent
But it takes all night if we drag our feet
(With) heels over head (and)
Eyes on the prize, (you) can't watch your back for a knife
I understand infatuation
but to lie?! You don't have to lie.
I can still hear the voice of Scrappy Dobbins
Though he's long since passed
In his cajun parlance (He's not from the North)
Sayin' "one thing I can't stand is a lie!
It makes it hard to live.
It's a scarlet letter they may not forgive"
That is the game, such is to blame,
Carefully choose whom to shame.
I understand exaggeration
But to lie?!
We were cutting a rug through Barbed Wire Love
And I could feel you pulling me in
I fell hook line and sinker
During Peace, Love and Understanding
When a heart wakes up
Can it only love once
Or over and over again?
Or is it merely a fax of the first time you went and laid it bare?
When you lie
Cuts me open when you lie
You don't have to lie
