You told so many lies
Your tongue is black with fireflies
But you spit them out and pretend youre sneezing
And every word is such a joke
With so many pasts youd be ninety years old
Dont you wonder why the room keeps on leaving

Hey, hey - whats that I heard you say
Dont think that I would never need it
Hey, hey - whats that I heard you say
Dont think that I would ever believe it

Its just a thought and nothing more
That all your thoughts and moves are taught
And memorised each night before your sleeping
And every word is such a joke
Strung from neon masts flying flags you hope
Will win you friends and give your life some meaning

(repeat chorus)

You told so many lies
Your tongue is stained with alibis
Youve been around the world and found it pleasing
And every word is such a joke
With so many pasts youd be a hundred years old
Dont you wonder why the room keeps on leaving

(repeat chorus)
