(Music: Marillion Lyrics: Steve Hogarth & John Helmer) |
|
When you look into the mirror |
|
Do you see a face you hardly recognise |
|
If you look into the sun too long |
|
Do the things you see begin to burn your eyes |
|
Paper lies |
|
Just to express what he's thinking |
|
Must a man take all the mail will bring? |
|
Are we living only for today |
|
It's a sign of the times ... we believe anything ... and nothing |
|
Paper lies |
|
When you kill the truth |
|
You can make a killing |
|
You might just make losing look like winning |
|
You came to tell the people what's goin' on |
|
But nobody knows whose side you're on |
|
Seems like you're sailin' pretty close to the wind again |
|
Paper lies |
|
You have already won a prize! |
|
I know something that you don't know |
|
Something that you ought to know |
|
It's burning a hole in my pocket book |
|
Listen ... do you want to know a secret? |
|
We can print our own money here |
|
If you let us do a piece on you |
|
We can take you to pieces |
|
When you look into the money do you see a face you hardly recognise? |
|
When you get behind the news of the world do the things you find begin to bend your mind? |
|
Paper lies |
|
Why don't ya let us take a piece outta you? |
