Lies

from AFTERGLOW by Jeannie Novak

lyrics

Sitting right here on the window sill
Looks like I’m out of luck
Crawling on the catwalk
I’m just a sitting duck

Hanging from a branch
I feel your claws scratching me
A snap – and I fall flat

Sitting right here on the window sill
It’s like you never left
Crawling on the catwalk
I’m just out of breath

Hanging from the rafters
You shine your spotlight on me
You snap – and I fall flat

I want the truth
It’s overdue
Lost my youth
To someone new

A pack of lies
Try it on for size
Wearing your disguise
Swatting all the flies

A pack of lies
You only think you’re wise
But I see through those eyes

Standing right there on the sidewalk
Looks like you’re out of luck
Skipping on the railroad tracks
You’re just a sitting duck

Hanging by a thread
You feel gravity take hold
A snap – and you fall flat

Standing right there on the sidewalk
It’s like you’re still around
Skipping on the railroad tracks
You never heard the sound

Hanging by your fingertips
With floodlights all around
I snap – and you fall flat

I found the truth
It was overdue
Lost my youth
To someone new

A pack of lies
Try it on for size
Wearing your disguise
Swatting all the flies

A pack of lies
You only think you’re wise
But I see through those lies

It’s your only tactical groove
It’s your only practical move
Lies, only lies
Tell a lie
It’s the only gambit you know
It’s the only garden you grow
Lies, only lies

A pack of lies
Try it on for size
Waving your disguise
Swatting all the flies

A pack of lies
You only think you’re wise
But I see through those eyes
