Lying to your feet while the truth is in your hand

Nobody you meet in a thousand miles can understand

What you’re up against

Now you’re fenced in

Lonelier than anybody else you know

Tell another lie and it’s time to do another show

And what do you do

When the whole thing turns on you?

You want to run away together

Say goodnight and stay forever

Make your bed and pray the weather

Holds out long enough to let you land

How much longer can you take it?

Making it alone and naked

How could you ever hope to fake it?

Lying to your feet while the truth is in your hand

Points on your tongue and opinions up your nose

None of them are yours and you’re wearing someone else’s clothes

And a baby cries with her daddy’s eyes

Lonelier than anyone should ever be

Tell another lie and then look at you, you’re lost at sea

And what do you do

When they all depend on you?
