Song | On the Lie |
Artist | Goo Goo Dolls |
Album | Ego, Opinion, Art & Commerce |
He burnt down the house one night, | |
He had a loaded six-pack gun. | |
He said that Jesus Christ was just like a cop, | |
You know, you never know when they'll come. | |
She said every day above ground, | |
Was another dream come true. | |
He said I'd hang and swap clichés all night, | |
But I'm not in love with you. | |
And I never got serious, | |
Til everything went black. | |
And I ain't so curious, | |
That I'm ever going back. | |
On the lie. | |
He said, man, you want to be Elvis. | |
I said I ain't dying face down. | |
He said you've got to die facing up in the world, | |
cuz there's too many holes around. | |
He asked what was wrong with me, | |
He said I looked like a Hollywood girl. | |
I said that Hollywood can fall into the ocean, man, | |
Cuz it's the ugliest place in the whole wide world. | |
On the lie, he was. | |
On the lie, she was. | |
It's always a stinkin' lie |
He burnt down the house one night, | |
He had a loaded sixpack gun. | |
He said that Jesus Christ was just like a cop, | |
You know, you never know when they' ll come. | |
She said every day above ground, | |
Was another dream come true. | |
He said I' d hang and swap cliché s all night, | |
But I' m not in love with you. | |
And I never got serious, | |
Til everything went black. | |
And I ain' t so curious, | |
That I' m ever going back. | |
On the lie. | |
He said, man, you want to be Elvis. | |
I said I ain' t dying face down. | |
He said you' ve got to die facing up in the world, | |
cuz there' s too many holes around. | |
He asked what was wrong with me, | |
He said I looked like a Hollywood girl. | |
I said that Hollywood can fall into the ocean, man, | |
Cuz it' s the ugliest place in the whole wide world. | |
On the lie, he was. | |
On the lie, she was. | |
It' s always a stinkin' lie |
